Phoebus Virginia Heron

While on a photography excursion to the quaint waterfront section of Hampton, known as Phoebus, I came across and shot a Heron I haven't seen in this area as often as I see the abundant Blue Herons and Great Egrets. The Heron I shot was a Yellow-crowned night heron, below is a juvenile bird:

I also shot this adult bird across Mill Creek in a tree:

One of the great things about living in the Hampton Roads area is the abundant wildlife and beautiful scenery.
