A community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general!
Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.
Amazing! I only just learned about the bird at a highway rest stop in Oregon. I had asked a woman how she was and where she was headed. They were on their way to a wildlife refuge and their dream was to spot this very bird. I wonder if she ever saw it? I think she would be happy that you did
Heron buddy looks a little despondent.
I enjoy seeing these night herons.
