Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

Wow, cool shot. It looks surreal! I love these little herons.
Thanks, was pure luck, bird was hunkered down not ten feet from the paved bike trail, did not flinch as I stopped and hopped off the bike to get the shot.
That's so cool, they are usually more shy. I've seen one off a paved bike trail in South Carolina but it noped off as soon as I stopped my bike.
