This Yellow-crowned Night Heron was enjoying his grooming in the privacy of this leafy cypress tree, when suddenly . . . 
He noticed that he was being watched – AND photographed!
So, he raised his wide wing to hide from view, and stayed this way for the longest time. I confess, I got the message! . . . Gave up waiting, and moved on down the boardwalk.
Great little story, 😀
Glad you enjoyed this little Night Heron scene, Connie!
Such funny story, I guess no one likes paparazzis.
Haha, good one, Lukasz!😅Poor birds, I guess they just can’t get away from the photographers.
Just being coy!
Right, Yaffa! ☺️
Just like one of those celebrities making themselves stand out in public and then complaining about the attention! 😀
Beautiful images!
Lol! What a great comparison!
Thanks!!
I think he was preening and realized he was being watched. ~” How dare they!” 🙂
Great shots, Carol.
Thanks, HJ-yes, he did look quite indignant!
Great series and very nice captures with excellent feather details!
I really appreciate your visit and comments Ellen! Do you have Night Herons in your area, too?
We do, mostly the Black-crowned, but we do occasionally see the Yellow-crowned,
Beautiful, adorable shots and storyline!
Thanks, Donna. He was very expressive ☺️
I like the comments as much as your photerrific post!
Thanks!
