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, 😀

I think he was preening and realized he was being watched. ~” How dare they!” 🙂
