As a Wildlife Photographer, I always look for unique and interesting moments to capture in the wild. Recently, I had the opportunity to photograph a juvenile Yellow-crowned Night-Heron scratching.
I photographed this Yellow-crowned Night-Heron in an area called Minor’s Cove, which is at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma.

Yellow-crowned Night-Heron Scratching
Capturing this juvenile Yellow-crowned Night-Heron scratching was a unique and unforgettable experience. As a Wildlife Photographer, it is always rewarding to capture moments like these and share them with others. Whether you are a professional photographer or an amateur, I encourage you to keep an eye out for these opportunities and take advantage of them when they present themselves.
