A young night heron rests along the Raritan River.

I waited patiently for him to wake up from a nap and it did pay off - though he went back to snoozing five minutes later. While waiting, a great blue heron flew onto a tree above this guy, but there were too many branches in the way to get a good shot.

Species: Black-crowned Night Heron (juvenile)
Location: Johnson Park, Piscataway, New Jersey
Lens: EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM

This was at a public park - taken in one of the ponds that flow off the river. I was just taking photos of nature.

That's quite the complement, actually! I'm glad this doesn't look like it was taken at a park :D
