Black-crowned Night Herons

From the heronry I went to the beach hoping to find some Sanderlings, Piping Plover, Dunelin and other shore birds. Checking out the beach all I found was a few Oystercatchers catching some rays along the beach. After a short time I decided to drive through SH to Nummy Island. Right now the Ocean Drive Bridge is closed hence having to go back through SH to get there. As I started by the Wetlands I saw about a dozen Black-crowned Night Herons catching rays so I quickly made a left and parked. I was getting some good pictures though the sun wasn't in the right spot until someone nearby started to cut his lawn and hit a rock. The noise flushed all of the birds.
