A dead tree trunk has fallen into the shallows of this pond. A green heron sits on the end where it enters the water. S/he is in profile and you can see the stringy light colored crown feathers jutting off the back of the head. The heron has the typical navy blue/cream/navy blue/cream coloring on the head and a red eye. The heavy bill is a matte black. The body and wings are mostly gray with just a slight tinge of green toward the bottom of the bird. The rest of the frame is filled with crisscrossing branches, green water plants, brown reeds, and reflections of all of the above.
I'm enjoying this scene from the past weekend. A yellow-crowned night heron is on patrol at a pond. #IRWD #Birds #Nature #Photography #Herons
