This heron was hanging out at the Palm Beach Zoo as do other nesting herons. He wasn't skittish at all and allowed to take his picture from close range.
I loved the shade of blue/green from its wing feathers that really stood out in the direct afternoon sun. I've never seen that shade of blue/green before on these birds.

I burned out some of the blue water reflection patch to create a total black background.
