Captured this night heron collecting nesting material at City Park in Denver. Thanks for looking.

Pretty cool getting one of these in flight with nesting material.

Great wing position and the branch not blocking eye. Good having clouds in the BG.

My preference would have been for you to capture this a few wing-strokes before this image before he passed you.

Thanks Robert! There was quite a few of these birds flying around. Almost sensory overload!

I like this Dan. Perfect exposure on the whites and the building material a nice bones.

Well done, Dan, good exposure and sharpness.
