   I’ve never seen one this colour. Look at the intensity in the eyes! Nice!

   Nice portrait. They look kind of punky with their feathers puffed out.

     Thank you, Steve. They are cool, compact little herons. I’ve only seen one or two around here, one at Paradise Pond. Do you see them at the Quabbin or other ponds?

       I’ve seen them at Poor Farm Swamp/Brickyard along the Norwottuck Rail Train off Station Road in Amherst. Great Blues and Great Egrets also. Here’s the most recent one from last summer. There’s no guarantee, of course, but they are a common visitor there. Heron’s and Egrets are fun because they stay so still quite often. I’m not much of a bird photographer but I always take advantage when they allow.

    Reminds me of myself when I first get up in the morning. Except the bird does look a little better. 😉

      Ha! I know what you mean, I’m not much of a morning person myself. 😉

    Beauty! Never seen one! ❤️
    • Eliza Waters says:

      January 29, 2020 at 2:25 pm

      Thanks, Bela. They are rarely seen here in MA, but plenty in FL, it seems!
      • Bela Johnson says:

        January 29, 2020 at 4:26 pm

        Yes, I didn’t figure they were anywhere in New England. Fun though! 😀
      • Eliza Waters says:

        January 29, 2020 at 4:29 pm

        Apparently, via another local photographer, they are seen in the valley, around the CT River. Just not in my immediate area, I guess.

    That’s one handsome little guy. One thing we’ve noticed this year is the very small number of snowy white egrets we are seeing. I’ve yet to find out where they have all gone.
    • Eliza Waters says:

      January 29, 2020 at 7:28 pm

      Thank you, Judy. I hope those egrets are only vacationing elsewhere. 🙂

    • Eliza Waters says:

      Thank goodness they saved them before they all ended up on women’s hats!
