Black Crowned Night Heron in Cypress Tree
This week's photo was taken on one of my 2023 Fall Tours. Usually, we focus on Cypress Trees in the fog or mist, but if there's an excellent opportunity to photograph an interesting bird, we take it. This Black Crowned Night Heron was easily approachable in the waters of Lake Martin, and we captured many excellent photographs. By the way, there are still slots available for one of my tours in November, where we capture foggy and misty landscapes and opportunities like this. You can check out these tours via this link.
