Description

This Immature Black-crowned Night Heron was camouflaged nicely in the pine tree at Assateague NWR. I used my Canon 100-400 mm L lens at 400 mm with IS activated, hand held. Settings were f5.6, 1/1000, ISO 800.

My you have a good eye even to spot this, just a wonderful capture Shirley, I notice a lot of your shots lately are taken at Assateague, do you live near there or just a vacation. I love it there and one day want to make it to the round up. #11517223

Thank you, John. I grew up about 25 miles from there, so I go back home to visit, and while there, try to get a few early morning visits the island. I love it there. You just never know what wildlife will grace your presence! I have made the pony penning a couple of times, and have a few pony photos in my gallery, but not many. I hope you get to go back for a visit and make the round up too! <>< #11517257
