Black-crowned Night-heron


Black-Crowned Night-Heron 

Spotted this black-crowned night-heron roosting at the Tony Saprito Fishing Pier in downtown  Sarasota patiently -- and hopefully -- awaiting a handout. I suspect he knows he's handsome -- bloodshot eye and all.  What do you think?

Super shot, SRQ! I'm not sure if I've seen this bird before. As re the eye, well, I did some checking and it appears these critters have a fondness for tequilla so... :)

Oh, he's gorgeous! You got a beautiful shot here. Frame-worthy if you like to be surrounded by handsome birds.
