Black Crowned Night Heron finishes off a meal.
After setting up a blind this guy stopped by for breakfast on Turtle Creek.
Sony a 700 and 70-400 G series zoom. Carbon fiber tripod and ball head.
F 6.7 at 1/200 second at ISO 1000.

C&C appreciated.

Rick, was this a crop of a larger photo. Why such a small posting size? Looks like good sharpness but at this size its hard to tell.

Larger version looks good. Love that eye and you handled the whites very well.

I like the pose here a lot, with the tip of the fishtail in the heron's beak. Really nice sharpness, too, in the larger version!
Nice capture!
