Friday Feathers

Ahhh... the cardinal. A beautiful red bird that continues to elude me. I've yet to take a single photograph of this bird that I'm happy with.

The male (above) is striking with its rich red attire.

The female (above) is dull and less vibrant with its washed out hue. I'll never understand why the male is much more vibrant than the female.

Friday Feathers

Here are a few photographs of the Yellow Crowned Night Heron. The photos were taken prior to my "big baby" episode; you know, before I was attacked by the Canadian Goose.

According to What Bird.com:

The Yellow-crowned Night Heron is listed as threatened in the state of New Jersey and endangered in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

A group of herons has many collective nouns, including a "battery", "hedge", "pose", "rookery", and "scattering" of herons."
