Superb close-ups, I like the next-to-last shot 🙂
I was using a 150-600 mm lens and had to step back to get the whole bird in. That one I took before stepping back. That was one feeless heron. There were two ladies standing 5 feet from it who totally ignored it. Hope you have a good weekend.
All good. The blue hued one with shadows is my favourite
Thanks for the feedback. 🤗
Beautiful images, I too love the night herons. Stunning birds.
Thank you Adriaan. Glad you like the herons – me too!

These are fantastic photographs – every one of them!
Thanks Anne.
Grand set. I liked the differences in light
Thanks. My experiments with graded color layers using Blake’s f64 Elite tools and tutorials.
The black-crowned night heron’s a favorite. Your photos are so good!
Thanks. This heron was only a few feet away and not at all afraid of people.
