Yellow-crowned Night Heron
A re-visit to the Yellow-crowned Night Herons…
I posted an image of a pair minding a nest, a few weeks ago.
I re-visited today, found one of them taking a walk while the other remained in the tree. Chicks unseen. “I shall return” […]

A yellow crowned night heron glaring at the camera, beak pointed straight at the lens. Standing on one leg only with an utter look of disdain on its face.
A yellow crowned night heron preening its chest and upper neck, with its head pointed straight toward the log it's perched upon. The bird's crown plume is standing up from atop its head. Seconds later it would raise one leg, then realize it was being photographed. Caught in the act...
Ever been caught watching someone preening? It's embarrassing when they turn and glare at you. This yellow crowned night heron was seen at the Murfree Springs wetlands area in Murfreesboro.

A yellow-crowned night heron walking gracefully on a faded red handrail at the Murfree Springs wetlands in Murfreesboro, Tn. Yellow talons grip the rail and it's walking to the right of the frame.
The heron's right foot has slipped from the handrail, and it has its wings extended to help regain balance. The yellow plume has risen behind the heron's head, and the bird's beak is slightly open, as if muttering, "What just happened?"
In this third photo, the yellow-crowned night heron's legs are extended down on either side of the handrail, with wings extended and yellow plume rising up from its head. The bird is facing the camera, with torso on the handrail and legs straddling the railing on either side. It's hard to know if birds get embarrassed, but this one's expression seems to be the very definition of "Geez... what else can go wrong?"
Herons are usually so elegant and graceful. Usually. This yellow-crowned night heron was trying to walk toward me on a handrail when something embarrassing happened.
We've all had days like this...

Yellow-crowned night herons
Here is a pair of adults near the nest, perhaps biding their time until sunset, when they might set out for a crab dinner.
Many other birds nesting in my Flickr album @ flic.kr/s/aHsmgd9Zde

Photo by Fenichel: A couple of Yellow-crowned night herons. Two gray blue herons, with bluish head, white eye stripe, orange eyes, and yellow crown, above their short, thick beaks. They are about a foot apart, both facing to the right of frame, on a single thick horizontal branch, surrounded by light green foliage, with bright blue sky behind.

Fairly rare and reclusive among herons, I rarely see these. From a while back, I do have a few images of […]

A fairly large gray bird wades in the water. The sides of its head are black with a white central stripe. There’s a white stripe across the top of its head. It has a long black beak, a red eye, and a thin yellow plume that falls back from its head.
@alan678.bsky.social says the #BirdOfTheDay theme is #GreyDay. May I present this #YellowCrownedNightHeron ? I think it’s mighty handsome. #birds #WildlifePhotography #ECK

When this yellow crowned night heron pulled this crayfish out of the water, I thought it had captured a lobster! This was taken at the Murfree Springs wetlands in Murfreesboro, Tn.

Birds with insects are some of my favorite targets. I like 'em with fish and crawfish, too! This yellow crowned night heron was doing some hunting in the Murfree Springs wetlands in Murfreesboro, TN.

The theme @alan678.bsky.social has chosen for #BirdOfTheDay is #walking. Here we have a marching #dunlin, a strolling #PurpleGallinule (with its absurd feet!), a #RedWingedBlackbird walking on water, and a #YellowCrownedNightHeron pausing on a boardwalk. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Taking a very demure and very mindful approach to well coiffed plumage

How embarrassing!
This yellow crowned night heron was casually walking down the handrail at Murfree Springs wetlands, being way too cool, when one of his feet slipped off the rail. What followed was hilarious...
