WoW! I am lucky to live in an area where Black Crowned Night Herons migrate to every year -- CHICAGO! I have been having a lot of fun watching them fish at The North Pond Sanctuary. This is a terrific video. Thanks for posting!
Thanks. He really gave me some great shots at his interesting steps. It ended up being a bit dark. I always add some light because I record it a little darker but I ended up with the lighting being about what it was in real life. With more light his eyes would have been really red.
Thanks. They are pretty elusive here too but some are used to people. I have had them hunting gophers and I have to be much more careful because they are pretty nervous. I saw one eating a gopher once and a handful hunting them but I will always look for the opportunity of these guys catching a gopher. It is big game hunting for them for sure.

Thanks. When I think of stealth, I think of this bird. My wife and I were in Chicago last fall for vacation. We love the architecture there.
His feet are so cool to watch! And his eyes are gorgeous. Thank you for the beautiful video!

Thanks. I’ve been struggling a bit lately finding birds to video but I was pretty happy to find this guy hunting in great light.
Superb work again Jim.
Thanks. I was quite happy that this guy was fine with me being close and he was doing well at fishing
More great pics and editing. An elusive bird here in east central Illinois. Only seen by me once.

Lovely video!
Thanks, it was one of my favorites with a pretty bird in a nice setting with good light and even the tides were in my favor.
