Return of the Black-Crowned Night Heron
Monday, June 19th, 2006We met this character a few weeks ago, but this is a much better photo IMHO. During a lunchtime walk, I saw him hanging around a storm pond — what I call a “Fear Factor” pond. He flew off into the trees a minute or so after I had taken some photos of him from the far side the pond. Luckily, he flew up into a tree that I had to pass on the way back out. When I stopped for a few more pictures, he was tap-dancing nervously on this branch, while giving me the Evil Eye, and then he flew back to his fishing hole after I passed by.
