I never pictured black herons perching in trees...I just pictured them standing in water or flying. Unique capture, Jo! You got a great shot of its eye.

Love the heron, Jo! This one looks like our BC night heron. Thanks for sharing your WBW!

Hi there - I think your cat is a cray person! I like him/ her!

It look like you got really close to the heron - they always seems so out of place in trees, but I know lots of them nest in them.

That is a very cool photo! I saw a heron in a tree for the first time the other day. He was really high up, too. We always see them in water.

Excellent capture Jo! I love seeing herons in trees. Is it breeding season there?

First time visit and you did a wonderful job of capturing this unique Heron. It's yellow eye is sharp considering all the tree branches and leaves.

Impressive capture!
