Recently a trifecta of herons graced the quarry rim on the same day.
A Great Blue Heron on a promontory beside a Double-crested Cormorant made a remarkable contrast between two fish-seekers constructed equally but entirely differently for the hunt.
Not far away a Black-crowned Night-Heron extended its nocturnal fishing vigil into daytime.
Before long it was time for the Night-Heron to retire into the surrounding woods.
A Green Heron rose out of the water after diving on a school of minnows.
Wings spread and legs stretched the bird softened its landing on a granite perch.
Wonderful photos! Thank you for posting them!
