Capturing the Flight of Night Herons
I was in my cabin on a cruise ship in the middle of the Caribbean Sea when I spotted a flock of yellow‑crowned night herons (Nyctanassa violacea) flying alongside us—matching the ship’s direction and speed, gliding almost level with my balcony. I spent several excited minutes photographing them, amazed at how close they stayed. I’m pretty sure this was the first image I posted from the ship that same day. I kept wondering where they were headed—somewhere south, I think—and how long they had been flying over open ocean.
