Nice catch. A bird that doesn't show up here very often.

Nice shot, Chris. I like the habitat showing in the BG. This bird is pretty reclusive, being a night heron. I always feel good to see them.

Chris, there are two of them they must nest there. They are definitely
very photogenic. It's almost worth the trip down there just to get to see
these birds.

Nice shot!

Garry, this was my fourth visit to the beach over the last 1.5 months and I've seen these herons every time. During this visit I saw 2 more hiding in the mangroves, much more shy.


Thanks for the comments everyone!

Nice shot Chris. First time I've seen one that wasn't behind some branches or reeds. ;-)a

I like the background. There's a lot to be said for a clean background, but a habitat shot like this works for me.
