Black Capped Night Heron

Finally got a photo of the Black Capped Night Heron that roosts in a carob tree nearby. We’d seen him flying out in the evening and back in the morning but here he was parked on the fence. Didn’t seem at all bothered by us on the patio either. The pics are noising because it was getting dark, and I missed a shot of him extending hie white crest (like a skinny cockatoo crest). These aren’t small birds, stocky with bodies the size of footballs!

    PS your 3D gallery is freaking incredible!
    You should post some of that at the caliForum to show ‘em how 3D ought to look.

    Thanks Mick, just spending a lot of time away from the computer. Was absorbed by the election and getting back into decent shape, etc. :-) Got some pics to put up over the holidays.
