Juvenile Yellow Crowned Night Heron

A beautiful image of this bird in its juvenile plumage, good the eye contavt, ciao Giangiorgio

Thanks Giangiorgio,

It’s a bird that sure get your attention!! Especially when you walk out of your house and it’s standing there looking at you!

Hey, Warren - good to see you posting again. I wholeheartedly agree with Giangiorgio regarding the bird's appearance. The image ably captures the critter's feather patterns, its colors, and its rather large eye; the detail certainly is sharp. But, the oval object kinda bothers me in the sense that it distracts the viewer's attention.

Michael, thanks for the comment! The “oval object” is a porthole on my neighbor’s cabin cruiser and this was the only angle I could shoot the photo at.

Haven’t posted for a while because the Covid 19 has pretty much kept me around my neighborhood. No traveling and therefore a lot less to photograph (for me, anyway.)

Beautiful bird picture, Warren! My sincere compliments! Cheers! PDE
