This Nycticorax nycticorax was captured 1 hour after sunrise. He was amazingly unafraid, sitting just 6 or 7 yards away (this was taken only with a 200mm lens), even after I moved to get a better angle.
Taken at the Las Gallinas Valley Sanitation District's Bird Habitat and Wastewater Reclamation Project, McInnis County Park, San Rafael, California.

The Kwiecinski Couple and Corregidor
They retired in their mid-50's and moved to Corregidor, a WWII Battlesite in the Philippines. Steve's father Walter fought and was captured there by the Japanese, but survived the war. Steve wrote a book about his father, "HONOR, COURAGE, FAITH: A Corregidor Story," which is available in paperback in the Philippines, and on Amazon Kindle worldwide. Steve and Marcia loved to entertain guests on Corregidor and take them to out-of-the-way places on the island. They also host tours for Valor Tours, LTD of San Francisco.
