This morning I made a quick trip to Belmar Park in Lakewood with my father. I intended to photograph kingfishers on a perch that I scouted during previous trips to the park. The kingfishers were in short supply, but I’m quite pleased with the images I captured of this great blue heron perched on a nest-box stand. (As always, click on the image to enlarge. For some reason this image looks a little strange in the preview size above).
This is the only image I captured of this black-crowned night heron before he flew into thick brush near by. I could see him preening in the bushes, but could not find an unobstructed angle to photograph from.
This image is a little less dynamic than the first one above, but still a keeper.
