On our way to Florida we stopped at one of our favorite places, the Magnolia Plantation and the Audubon Swamp Garden, which is attached to Magnolia Plantation. Years and years ago we stopped here and that started my interest in photographing birds. Audubon Swamp Garden is a 60-acre cypress and tupelo tree swamp on the grounds of Magnolia Plantation near Charleston, South Carolina. The featured image is a Black-Crowned Night-Heron in a distant tree.
The two images below are a Yellow-Crowned Night-Heron.
We don’t see yellow crowned night herons here. A treat to see your excellent photos of them!
Thanks Belinda! Where we live, we see a few, but the Black-crowned is definitely seen more often.
Both nicely captured, Reed!
Thanks Donna! I still have to work on my Swamp images and panoramas from Magnolia Plantation. It is an interesting place to photograph. Their main gardens were a little past their prime when we got there, but the Swamp was amazing to photograph!
