I made this image awhile back at Jamaica Bay's Big John's Pond. This little beauty just sat and posed, so I took advantage of the opportunity. Thanks for looking.
Lovely perky little bird. Tack sharp. Nice light angle. But... The perch overpowers the bird and hides the tail. From here, there are all sorts of purplish blobs in the BKGR...
Somebody put up the perch, so somebody could change it. Were there any night-herons on the perches there this summer and fall?
Later and love, artie
