This Yellow-Crowned Night Heron was sitting on a stick-up in the resaca early in the morning. It let us approach it quite close. I guess it knew we humans wouldn't wade out into the cold water to try to have it for breakfast. We must have looked well fed.

This cutie is amazing.
I love the little details on the bird's body and the shadow casted.
Sorry to drop by late.
I posted and went off for teaching and just came back:)
Thanks for dropping by and giving kind comments Lisa.
Gee, I had to look three times to see if it was a photo or a drawing! Wonderful job!
i liked the water very much too, good one sister.
Nice one...cool reflection! :)
Very nice rendering! Do you draw from nature or photos or memory?
Thank you for all the encouraging words.
Steviewren, I usually draw/paint from photos. I want to break out and draw more from my imagination but I am having trouble breaking through that way. I do occasionally draw from memory. It has to really grab my mind to stay there long enough to be painted.
Such a great drawing. I would love to see one of these in person.
What a cute and unusual bird! He kinda looks like an old man hunched over! :) Nice painting!!!
Love your heron and your hints of water...it is exactly how he sits and stares!
