Yellow-crowned Night Heron
The intense focus of any heron I feel echos the concentration whilst it stalks it prey. This is no exception, even for this juvenile.

Looks not unlike a road runner from what I've seen on web, like the eye and texture worried about it's feet.
Still thanks for sharing, next time I meet one....

I like the shot Steve and I like the setting too, a little more room at the bottom would help the comp, though thats just a personal taste thing.

great capture, i would put more space to the right but i can see its getting lighter so maybe that would detract?
