Daniel started on 6/22/25, posting some of his absolute favorite images and the story of how it happened and why it’s one of his favorite images.

This Yellow Crowned Night Heron image is from his VERY first encounters a wading bird performing a courtship and still the most memorable all of the displays he's photographed.

These birds can display in such a quick and unexpected manor that simplying blinking may cause you to miss it. The second hardest part is waiting for one to display facing your camera, which can take several hours of waiting and being prepared.

He considers this image one of his favorites just for the curiosity it sparked inside him. He had to see more but he also wanted to learn more about their courting behaviors. Since taking this image he's managed to witness five other species perform Nuptial displays and produce some of his most known images by doing so.

This image was taken in Port Royal, South Carolina
