Cam's Birds
White-faced Heron
White-faced Heron (Egretta novaehollandiae) hunting at dusk in the streets of Heathcote, central Victoria, Australia. A few days later, a White-faced Heron was reported on Ebird on the same town street, so this fellow is quite the famous Heron.
The plumes on the back look quite a bit longer than usual, so I wondered if this Heron was in breeding plumage (?); however, the breeding season for this species is September-December.
