This Black Crowned Night Heron was hidden very well in a palm tree. I only discovered him by accident and was pleased that he held so still for this portrait.

Terrific capture of this bird in his environment. So often the foreground branches and leaves are distracting when the focus is on a hidden subject like this one but not in this case. Great job. #10018436Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
