Title: Juvenile black crown night heron & leering adult
Post by: mr.sharp-photo on August 09, 2011, 10:17:16 PM

Both suck equally at fishing, I'm afraid.
The juvenile was positioned by the rain (read: sewage) run-off. I doubt it will find fishies.

The adult wasn't faring any better: It was perched on top of a 10 ft high gate.

The juvie loooks wet, so high marks for trying.
The adult has a look on his face that he just can't be bothered anymore.
Great shots.
