I was hoping to get a few shots of this guy fishing.
After a minute I was hoping to get a shot of him doing something, anything.
It’s a Yellow-crowned and they are not easy to catch so I will take these.

Nice series! We don’t see these herons here.
After you said that I don’t remember seeing them in New England either. Shy.
They look so different those Yellow-crowned Night Herons from our Black-crowned Night Herons. I think this heron is a little taller and more elegant. Fantastic photos!!!
We have both here. The Yellow-crowned head is thinner, a shorter bill too. Both have those ruby red eyes.
