Taken on a swamp trail not often used. The Night Herons have started to nest back here this spring. I had forgotten until I spotted this juvenile.
I think this bird would be just starting out on his own. I looked for adults but didn’t see any. He was absolutely beautiful.

He never moved at all. They survive at this age by being so well camouflaged.

Nice to see and a nice pair of shots
Small Herons haven’t nested over in this swamp for years. Nice to see some moving back in. Thanks.
Perfect camo – beautiful bird.
He/she was beautiful, especially so.
