Very nice usage of B/W. I've got a lot of herons near me, and I hope to nail as good a shot as this one some day.

This works well in B&W.

I think your high contrast b&w really works here. Makes the bird really jump off the screen. Nice.

The crossed legs make for an interesting pose. The heron is nicely illuminated.

Good work converting to B&W and a nice composition! Heron seems a tad bit oversharpened, I would have blurred to background to make it stand out more!
