Yellow-Crowned Night Heron – Print by Gary Moss

Gary Moss’s Silent Waters: Yellow-Crowned Night Heron was the featured artwork for the 1992 Texas Non-Game Stamp Print, offering a serene and lifelike portrayal of this elusive coastal bird. The scene presents a yellow-crowned night heron standing motionless along the edge of a still marsh, its pale crown feathers and bold markings rendered with remarkable accuracy. Moss’s skillful composition highlights the heron’s quiet vigilance and the reflective calm of its natural wetland habitat. A fine example of Texas wildlife art, this print appeals to collectors drawn to subtle beauty and avian subjects.
