Black Crowned Night Heron Portrait 1

Huntley Meadows Park - Alexandria, Virginia
June 25th, 2017
Seeing a Black Crowned Night Heron at Huntley Meadows is a rare sighting. Because of this, the photographers were lined up the boardwalk trying to get shots of this immature heron as he rested on a nearby fallen branch. I love the coloring in his feathers and the tuft of hair that sits atop his head. His orange eyes also give indicators that this is not a mature bird as their eyes turn red when fully mature. Such a cutie.

I am in my 50's and happily married with 5 daughters from our blended family. I became interested in photography just a few short years ago, much later in life than many but my passion is strong. I started out experimenting with scenic mountain shots, landscapes, flowers and anything nature as being outside is where I am happiest.
