I don’t often get a chance to photograph little ones in their natural habitat, but while on assignment I was able to capture some video and photography of these, sweet and demanding Black-crowned Night Herons chicks.

Black-crowned Night-Heron | Mary 11 | Alice May Herden

But these kids were driving her nuts.. she finally had enough and took a break. There is one little runt in the group… I do hope it grows up and has a happy and healthy life.

Not the greatest shots, really needed my tripod.. maybe I can head back there to take some better video and photos… overall I was happy to be able to capture them.
