Found this Black-crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax) in a Palm Desert Gardens. Just love this heron's red eyes. It belongs to the Ardeidae, the heron family. This heron is found in wetlands, including salt, brackish, and freshwater marshes, swamps, streams, lakes and agricultural fields. This medium-sized, stocky heron has a short neck, a thick beak, red eyes, a black cap and back, and gray wings with white under-parts. Long, thin, white plumes grow from the back of the cap during the breeding season. Their short, yellowish green legs, become pink during the breeding season.

Penny, Fantastic capture of this Black Crowned Night Heron, with such amazing details, especially that eye. From his claws crasping at the branch to the great details of the layers of his feathers and the sharpness in his beak. Excellent photo, fav, voted, google and tweet promoted and selected as my Pay It Forward in the CFC group
