A juvenille Black Crowned Night Heron is taking a break from his fishing but still keeping an eye on the water below while perched in an old cottonwood tree along clear creek in Denver, CO. He sure looks good wrapped in those fall colors.

Two of my favorite things…beautiful Herons and Cottonwood Trees. wonderful Mike!
Thanks, they both are very special and we never tire of observing the bark of a cottonwood tree. Such wonderful shapes, texture and colors all in one. Hope you week is off to a fine start.
Living in the south we see lots of beautiful cottonwood trees, they are amazing. Wishing you a wonderful week as well.
Thanks.
Good camouflage, hidden in plain sight!
Hi Eliza, yes very good camouflage for that heron. It was a surprise to see them peeking out form this perch.
He blends in nicely and even looks cozy.
Hi Camie, yes he sure does fit right into his surroundings. Hope your week is off to a great start.
He’s gorgeous.
We agree with that and well hidden to boot.
