Several mating pairs of Yellow-Crested Night Herons took up residence in our neighborhood following Huricane Rita in 2005

Thanks, these two have a nest just down the street, four houses down. Haven't seen any young ones yet, but I'll keep my own evil eye on them.

You're welcome, I heard they were nasty predators with a taste for unguarded chicks other than their own, of course!

Thanks, I'm still trying out all the new whistles and bells on my new Nikon D5100 with the kit lenses, but I'm beginning to really like my own photos for a change

Thank You, these guys appear just a bit leary of humans, but not enough to pack their nests and leave... we love it here and we think they do also

Thanks, I stood just underneath them, looking up , trying to wait them out to try to cature them in flight. My neck gave out, so I packed it in for the evening. I hadn't gotten to the next driveway , when they took off, circled low overhead and landed on the same branch from whence they came. The entire flight lasted just long enough to get the lens cap off. As I turned to go home, I swear I heard them mock me.
