There's also a big flock of Black Crowned Night Herons that are nesting there at the moment.   |

Wow Love those eyes on the adult and the DOF looks just right. The last pic with the chicks reminds me of Don King the Boxing promoter!!

Thanks Rey! Your shot just confirmed my suspicions of a bird I see at our ponds. Love the details of the face.

Hope to catch the IBK there sometime. For additional reference, here's how the bird looks when it's hunting.  |
