Found this bird hiding in the shadows by the Mangroves at Biscayne Bay National Park. The park staff said it's fairly rare to find them during the day.

Nikon D850, Nikkor 200-500mm @270mm, f/6.3, ISO 500, 1/200s

The textures under his feet are an added bonus... what a great capture.

I hope he wasn't feeling under the weather. Not sure what their default expression is ... will have to Google it.

I just looked at some Google images and am thinking they look slightly depressed most of the time. ;-)

Very good. I only see the black-crowned ones here. They are somewhat active during the day but you can see whole sleeping colonies often.

Very nice shot with his eyes open. They spend a lot of time sunning and sleeping.
