My image of a black-crowned night heron received on Honorable Mention in the 2025 Keālia Pond National Wildlife Refuge photography contest. I took this photo during a brief visit to the refuge’s boardwalk while vacationing in Maui. It’s a little slice of heaven and haven for birds and aquatic life along a busy island coast.
