On Friday, to get out of the house for a change we headed to Spring Creek Park. Again, still now much in the way of birding. However, I got this photo of a Great Blue Heron hunting in the water.

Then this morning as Ann and I were leaving McDonalds Restaurant after breakfast, this Yellow-crowned Night Heron was along the nearby creek.

“It pays to always have a camera handy.” Don’t leave home without it! Great shots Bob!
Thanks ever so much, David.
Okay, that does it. Now I have to visit Texas. Love the Yellow-Crowned Night Heron and the especially colorful Great Blue!
I knew I could convince you, Lisa. Thanks for the nice compliments. 🙂
That juvie is just beautiful! So good to have a camera handy for such lucky finds.
Thanks so much, Shannon. I agree, keep that camera handy, and I think you did just that on your magnificent trip. 🙂
Bob, the fledgling great blue heron is gorgeous – your ohoto really shows the russet tone to the feathers – as is the yellow-crowned. We have great blues, black-crowned night, and green herons here, but I’ve never seen a yellow-crowned one. Maybe I should look closer to the McDonald’s down the road. What do you think? Best, Babsje
Yes, I hear they like a Happy Meal. 🙂 Thanks for the comment, Babs, I see from your own blog that you really are into herons, too. They are one of my favorite subjects to photograph, probably because they are here the year around. Visit again. 🙂
You’re welcome! Definitely visiting again in just a few minutes! 🙂
I wonder if McDonald’s feeds the Heron..lol..great photos…
Thanks for your comment, Syl.
I always love herons! Thanks.
Thanks, Karel, I really appreciate it. Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you will return.
Nice “heroning” from you!! hugs
Thanks, Beth, for your punny compliment. 🙂
