My favorite book ever "Brendon Chase" by "BB" talks about Night Herons and now thanks to you I have seen one . The book has an illustration in a woodcut> Old reader here and old printing process there. Great book for boys of all ages. I read it once a month and have done so for 55 years!! Must be some record!

Great photograph, thanks.

Old woodcuts are hard to beat---I bet it is a beauty to behold.

I've always thought that this is prettiest of the herons, I'm really happy with this capture.

Thanks everyone for looking.

You got very lucky. I only have one decent photo of this beautiful bird.I see them often, as I'm sure you do. But, as the name implies, NIGHT Heron......
