p.1 #1 · Yellow-Crowned Night Heron on a smoky day

The smoke from the fires in Canada had been bad for nearly a week and I've been limiting my time outside. The other day I went out waring a mask and enjoyed the nice soft light. This night heron landed on a fence very close to me so I grabbed a few nice tight portraits.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

Nice catch. He could update his LinkedIn Profile with those nice tight head shots Morris.

Nice images Morris. I�m always amazed how narrow herons heads appear relative to the body when you see them head on.
