This Crowned Night Heron was totally uninhibited as we slowly drifted by to the point that he gave us a disgusted glance while perched on one foot soaking up the warm rays of the afternoon sun. (hence the title)
This is an older image that I posted in 2012 but is no longer in my gallery. I have kinda always liked it for some reason and reworked it lately with newer techniques for me and the image and here you go. Full frame, hand held from boat.

Night Heron with attitude. I am impressed with the sharpness of this image especially with 2X and HH from boat. The large image is better.
Lovely detail in the plumage and I like the light and pose. Well done, Mike.
About where you would expect tp find these in the daylight hours. A good one, Mike!
Like seeing him in his habitat, excellent detail, nice work. Ray
