A Couple more Herons

This fellow gave me a great pose in the shallow water near some bushes. With his reflection in the sepia colored water it almost looks like some sort of headshot for a business tycoon.

Herons

 

Outside the pond with all the stilts, the most numerous birds are the herons. I find them perching in the trees and posing in the water.

Kealia Pond

The stilts are noisy bunch and are really running things in this pond.

Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge

The Kealia Pond is a nice wetland area in which to spy a few of the local birds. The most numerous here now and the most engaging are the Hawaiian Stilt. It is a subspecies of the black-necked stilt.
