He *is* the night.. the Black Crowned #nightheron is next for my sticker design! He will have no background but I might print it with the green one too. Still learning color theory ^^; what do you think he's up to?

Four Herons sharing the opportunities. The mature Black Crowned Night Heron and the Grey get the prime water flows 💦, while everyone else (young BCNH at left) do the best they can.

Today is *rough.* I am not doing great.
Saw my FOY black crowned night heron this morning, so that was nice. First thing it did was fly screaming at a hidden second BCNH, walloping it thoroughly with blows from both wings. Then they settled in for a skulk together.
