Black-crowned Night Heron pair #BirdOfTheDay Mr. & Mrs.
With some birds, like Northern Harriers, it's easy to tell the sex. Not with BCNH's! In this case I KNOW — the one on the right should be smoking a cigarette!

Loggerhead Shrike (on a wire) (Florida) #BirdOfTheDay
I don't like to take photos of birds on a wire as I much prefer a natural perch. But looking back through old photos I apparently took a few of these back in 2011.
