Here's a six pack of the black crowns. It was pouring yellow and black crowns on this day.

All shots were taken from under an umbrella which was taped to the Wimberley arm.

Beautiful black-crowned night heron, Herb. It rains again. But I really love that scene, Herb. You got all the nice wing pose IF shots.

BTW, you are very clever using the umbrella.

Another sweet set Herb...the detail is awesome. All the black crown's saw were we too far for me to get a shot!

Excellent, as usual.
Is the juvenile leucistic? I have never seen one that isn't speckled.

So impressive. How do you get these herons to pose for you?
