Tonight's Night Herons

Osprey Whisperer

I was out doing yardwork this evening and the night herons kept teasing me...so..I ran in and grabbed the camera and shot the buggers.

I hate when those suckers tease me:D
Of course I saw my 1st this year.
Nice Mike

Thanks John. These black crowned night herons are very common in my backyard. I'd say I probably average half a dozen of these guys nightly. I've had times where there were a good dozen or more also. I've been surrounded by them on the dock when I've had food. It's kind of creepy...as in Hitchcock movie creepy.


Worked up a couple more from tonight. Who stole the sky?

The neighbor across the street just put his house up for sale. Guaranteed night heron with every purchase.

Excellent shots of a rather common bird.

Thanks Harry. Common for some folks.

Thanks Steve. I am pretty lucky with my location. Especially this time of season.
