Black-crowned Night Heron: "Photo Bombed by a…

[Timber Fox]

You're lucky to have otters nearby! And these herons. Good luck in getting the trifecta someday...

[Neil Barker]

Thanks! The otters are fun to watch as well and surprisingly large. I'm hoping for the heron trifecta this weekend. :)

[Timber Fox]

River otters can weigh 45-60lbs and in groups, hunt alligators.

[Juliet Wilson]

Very thoughtful of the Green Heron to drop by! They're both very handsome herons.

[Neil Barker]

Agreed, Juliet and such a lucky coincidence!

[Heidi Zawelevsky]

What a gift, Neil! Eagerly awaiting the Heron Trifecta and other spontaneous photobombs.

[Neil Barker]

Agreed, Heidi - will be trying again this coming weekend!

[Jeanne Malmgren]

The last line of this poem ... that's a trifecta, in and of itself.

[Neil Barker]

Thanks, Jeanne and much appreciated.

[James Freitas]

What a fortuitous photo bomb! Thank you for sharing Neil.

[Neil Barker]

Thanks, James and most fortuitous encounter!

[Marisol Muñoz-Kiehne]

Fishing side by side,

Black-crowned Night Heron

and Green Heron ham?!

[Neil Barker]

A most excellent and related haiku, Marisol. The last line made me smile. :)

[Nathaniel Bowler]

That photo-bomb… that’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.

[Neil Barker]

Thanks, Nathaniel and definitely a memorable experience for me!

[Robin Motzer]

Let's hear it for the herons, and may you reach the trifecta!

[Poetry Symposium]

[Neil Barker]

Definitely felt that way, Lori! :)
