2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Yellow Crowned Night Heron, Texas, United States
YellowCrownedNightHeron

Species: Yellow Crowned Night Heron | Location: Texas, United States

A pair of Yellow Crowned Night Herons appeared in our yard this spring and chose a pine tree very near us in which to build a nest. This is (we think) the very handsome male, who spends a good deal of time preening to maintain his appearance while on nest monitoring duty.
