I ran into my friend Lisa at the gym and she, knowing I like to attempt bird photos, mentioned a tree full of birds she’d been seeing. Since I did have my camera with me (with the big lens attached!) I decided to head over before the light went. The birds ended up being Yellow-Crowned Night Herons. They were napping, but the yellow crowns were clearly visible.
