Yesterday and today were fabulous for birdwatching! Last night and again today, we spotted a Black Crowned Night Heron. Only the third time I have ever spotted one. I had been hunting for this one all summer. It was far away and behind a fence at twilight, so the photos aren't the best.
Then this evening, in the same area, we spotted a Yellow Crowned Heron! This is a bird I had never seen before. It was really getting dark by now.
But this was not the end of our birding adventure! My next post will show you what else we saw.

These are wonderful captures Ginny and very exciting to see these beautiful birds. Great job!
I love the aqua blue heron - don't they come by water? Do you have water near you?
Nice shots.
That blue heron is an interesting looking bird--a beautiful head, but strange looking feet.
I think the pictures turned out great! ❤️
Wonderful pictures. I've never seen either of these birds before.
Around here, theyelliw crowned are few and far between ...terrific images Ginny!!!
Wonderful sighting of the birds. The photos turn out good.
Wow! These are amazing shots.

I love that Chinese proverb..
We sing "Because"!!
beautiful herons that you captured. Good at finding the elusive ones and the photos turned out really clear and detailed.

Beautiful!!! Such good photos!
What a sweet bird the Black Crowned Night Heron is. It looks colorful. I see many birds up in the mountains, and they are right in my front yard, so I don't have to go far. It's one of the pleasures I have here. I'm looking forward to seeing what other birds you saw on your bird adventure.

That's a cool bird - nice photos!
You must have been so happy to be able to get some photos! Birds move so quickly! I’ve never seen these kind of Herons before. I don’t think they are this far north…or east. We have great blue herons here that have very long legs. They are normally in rivers or on the edge of ponds.
