Herons, Egrets, Anhingas (oh my)]

Settling in for the night as dusk approaches

Little ones get a final feeding (you can hear them gurgling near the beginning), as feathered friends fly in for the night.

For me, a marathon full-length feature!

The bird of the day theme today over on BlueSky is Egrets and Herons, which gives me an excuse to share the Great Blue Heron I ran into on Wednesday that felt this was a great place to perch.

My wife and I were watching diving birds last night at #DashPointWA when we spotted a #GreatBlueHeron as it swooped in for a landing.

On alert. A Tricolored Heron fledgling awaits its next feeding.

Posed and poised in regal purple and blue, this Little Blue Heron showed off its richly hued adult plumage as it perched on a scrag at eye level. Gorgeous bird.

Not quite bluer than blue yet, this second year Little Blue Heron’s plumage is still striking.

Capturing the Flight of Night Herons

I was in my cabin on a cruise ship in the middle of the Caribbean Sea when I spotted a flock of yellow‑crowned night herons (Nyctanassa violacea) flying alongside us—matching the ship’s direction and speed, gliding almost level with my balcony. I spent several excited minutes photographing them, amazed at how close they stayed. I’m pretty sure this was the first image I posted from the ship that same day. I kept wondering where they were headed—somewhere south, I think—and how long they had been flying over open ocean.

It’s out of focus, but this yellow crowned night heron was moshing by the river. I need to remember to go down to the riverbanks. There’s a whole animal parade at sunset. #birds #herons #nature #river

Yellow-crowned Night Heron

A re-visit to the Yellow-crowned Night Herons…

I posted an image of a pair minding a nest, a few weeks ago.

I re-visited today, found one of them taking a walk while the other remained in the tree. Chicks unseen. “I shall return”.

These added to my “Birds” (and "Nature") albums on Flickr. @ https://flic.kr/p/2s7Xsgd
