p.1 #1 · Black-crowned night heron

This Black-crowned night heron was crabbing on the empty tidal pond at the Marine Nature Study Area in Oceanside NY. When it had enough to eat if gave me this show.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Oh yeah he's a beauty. I have to agree that I love #1 also with those outstretched wings.
