Nice shots.

Always wondered what those were. See em at our neighborhood lake occasionally

Used to see several of those along the Riverwalk in SA. Would often find piles of crawfish shells after the Herons had finished a meal. Pretty cool and nice pics!

They showed up in my neighborhood a year or two ago and started nesting in the trees. Good sized tank a mile or two away and a creek about the same distance. Not sure where they were getting all the crawfish from but they were making a mess in my neighbors driveway. They are pretty loud too. This is in Leander, Tx.

They are pretty wide spread. I have photographed them in a small city park pond in College Station.
