Night Heron

lynnma

Don't get to see these round here very often but we have a colony of around 11 of these beautiful birds. They sound like little dogs flying home to roost. Comments welcome, still learning this new 50D.
Oh and... Hi Harry :cavig xx (I'm readin the manual)

Cool shot, Lynn.

Is this a different bird than the Black-crowned Night-heron?

I googled Night Heron but could not find a pic or discription of one that looks like your shot.

See the head is different in my shot of a BCNH.

I believe that is Yellow Crown NH

and what we have in the West is Black Crown NH

I think or something like that

Whatever NH it is it is a good Caprture

Nice capture of a yellow crowned night heron. We don't see them in my neck of the woods. :cry

Nice shot of this yellow crowned. I do not see these that often but they are around.
