These are pretty rare around here. I guess we get one every few years or so.
So, when I heard one was in town I shot down and found it. It did not want to come out of the leaves but I took what I could get and am pleased.
Oh and I think its not quite mature yet.

Very nice Jeremy, and congrats. Last 2 years, there's been an adult you almost have to push out of the way to continue on the boardwalk at the pond. And so it goes;)

Thanks all.
I wish the heron would have gone to a few different perches,
but we can't be too picky.

Rog, I feel your boardwalk pain.

Very nice Jeremy, I think that is the most attractive of the herons. Good shooting!
