  Thank you, Reed! I was lucky, lol. I don’t have many juvenile night herons; and this shot is kinda cute, I’m glad I spotted him/her!

You have a good eye, Donna! I amazed myself by spotting the young heron in the first picture. Great close-up — I think he spotted you, too. 🙂

  Thank you, Barbara! I just love this little heron’s surprised look when it saw me. I was quick with a couple shots as it leaned back into hiding and out of sight. 🙂
