Lovely. Very crisp shots. I don't recognise the species. Some sort of Tiger Heron?

Thenk you very much!
This is one shot and two crops from it.

That's impressive. Beautiful hawk.
Did it go on for long?
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Richard.

No, it never went on for long... a minute or two. Then he was back up in a tree. :-)

Almost got wet here.... lol Western Sandpiper... Was crazy... a small group of them came very close, and then all decided to have a nap. Perhaps 6-8 feet away from me. Most of the shots were not great because of too many in the frame..... this is the best solitary I got.

We love the Sanctuary...I need to get up there again.
