Description
Fine art wildlife photograph of an adult Black-crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax hoactli) perched on a willow limb. This gorgeous night heron is one of over 150 herons who spend their daylight hours together napping in a tangle of willows above a creek in Northern California. It's difficult to get a clear photograph of them in their colony due to the great distance from a viewpoint and the tangle of branches where they shelter. This beautiful bird happened to be awake and out on a limb where it was watching for lunch to pass by in the creek. Fine art prints available for sale. ŠKathleen Bishop 2014.
