Last Saturday the hubs and I were on our way home from Seaside...
from a Hot Rod and Food Truck event.
That will be another, very long entry.
That will be another, very long entry.
We were almost home when I spotted this beauty...
just out of the corner of my eye.
Well, that's not really true as my head spins constantly while we are driving.
At first sight, I had no idea what this was but I knew I had to find out.
This was a, spin the car around, find a shoulder (there was none)
hit the flashers...change the lens, get "beeped at" kind of event.
I jumped out of the car, the hubs found a Pizza Hut parking lot,
and it was all worth it...
The Black Crowned Night Heron...
it is a lifer for me.

Congratulations! You got awesome photos! Love the red eyes! This isn't one we have here.

spectacular shots! glad you managed safely! he's beautiful. have only seen the yellow-crowned here.
Great picture of the Night Heron!
Very striking bird, all dressed up for a night on the town perhaps? (Night Heron...I was trying to be funny.)
I am so glad you spun that car around, that Heron is beautiful. Did he stay in that one place the whole time? Just beautiful Debbie!
Oh cool Debbie! He's a beauty and your shots are fabulous!
He's a beauty! You're so lucky to have spotted him. And yes, he looks a lot like a penguin!
What a lucky find! Glad he stayed long enough for you to get the photos. I've never seen one of these. He does look a little like a penguin in the last photo!

Oh, that is sooooo cool! I remember when I finally nailed my first BCNight Heron photo. Around where I live, they are very elusive, and I rarely see one. Your photos are just superb. So glad you're sharp-eyed!
What a find! I can't wait to show my son - the penguin lover! You got some really great shots!!
Wow that is an amazing bird. I have never seen anything like that before.
I am so glad you captured a picture of it.

You got some fabulous shots of him. He's very handsome.
Debbie, I agree...my first thought was how much it looked like a penguin. So beautiful....you are a lucky girl. Hugs!
