Black-Crowned Night-Heron
What do you get if you cross a parrot with a shark?
A bird that will talk you ear off!
Interesting Fact: A breeding Black-crowned Night-Heron will brood any chick that is placed in its nest. The herons apparently don’t distinguish between their own offspring and nestlings from other parents. ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Black-crowned_Night-Heron/lifehistory )

Thank you very much, I appreciate you stopping by and checking out my work. Happy Blogging. 🙂
🙂 scrolling through your blog … your titles are great! 🙂 What lens are you using?
Thank you very much, I appreciate that very much. I have few lenses that I use for different shots. Wildlife shots I usually shoot with a tamron lens 150-600mm f/5-6.3 or Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 witch I also use for landscape and portrait. But I also use 35mm f/1.8 or 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6. Every thing depends on the light and surrounding. Happy Blogging. 🙂
WAU, now that is a diverse collection! Didn’t see that one coming. 😉 I asked ’cause I saw some nice photos of yours that are very up close but of animals that get scared easily.
Back attcha. 🙂
Oh yeah they do get scared very easily. Most of my close up shots I had to sit in one spot for hours with our movement. There was tons of time I freezing or hungry but i waited and got the shot. So sometimes was because of the lens but most of the time was just being patient. Thank you for taking the interest. Happy Blogging. 🙂
I know what you mean by doing anything and everything JUST to get that one shot. 🙂 Props to you.
