20130509 853 Black-crowned Night Heron & Friend.jpg

Ottawa West

Three images entitled "THREE IS A CROWD!"

Top Image: A hunting Black-crowned Night Heron sharing a small rock outcrop with a munching Muskrat.


A Canada Goose approaches, presumably to check if there is room for it too.


That's one too many for the Heron who takes off, followed closely by the Muskrat diving into the water, thus leaving the spot for the Goose, who swims away deciding that after all it doesn't want it.

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor 500mm f/4D IF-ED AF-S II
1/1000s f/8.0 at 700.0mm iso720 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
