DSC_3094_00001 Black-crowned Night-Heron - Bihoreau gris (Nycticorax nycticorax)

            Throughout the sequence of these pictures, this Black-crowned Night Heron displayed preening behavior.  Once habituated to my distant presence, it started preening itself.  Suddenly it noticed that some duvet from preening got stuck to its bill.  Subsequently it started to scratch meticulously away the duvet using its long claws.

Although some branches and sun orientation weren’t ideal for photography, it was memorable to watch, capture and remember.
