Yellow crowned night heron: Saw him for the first time today. He was in the trees halfway to the back of the cove. He saw me, flew right at me and landed about 4 feet away at the edge...

Saw him for the first time today. He was in the trees halfway to the back of the cove. He saw me, flew right at me and landed about 4 feet away at the edge of the water. He allowed me to take my shots and then returned to the trees. Hopefully he will be setting up a nest and I will see more of him and his mate. They usually breed in groups, maybe I'll get lucky. Rare to see him come out in the day light.

This youngster is a beauty. I know how hard it is to capture them in the day, so it makes me appreciate these photos all the more. Good job!!
