Black-crowned Night-heron

This heron was sitting on a floating log in a small stream in the Arboretum in Ottawa. The log kept moving back and forth as the water moved, and therefore so did the heron, but I did manage to get a few photos. The poor thing has a damaged right foot, and from the look of it, the injury occured a long while back. I would think it makes landing difficult for him, but he seemed quite steady on the log.

Great catch in very nice details. He looks pretty good and probably learned how to live with his healed injuty!V!

He looks very elegant with that plume, almost a butler.

A beautiful close up of this heron, Christine. I guess he has got used to his injury, or had to...BV
