This particular Night Heron is quite distinctive. Its headdress (i.e. the white strips protruding from the top of its head) are actually feathered. Perhaps this is a transition to mature feathering or a unique feature to this particular heron. In any event, it's an intriguing bird.
And there's nothing like catching an animal in a focused state of mind, such as fishing and grooming, to allow for some photography.
