Field Notes

Description:

this night heron has to be good hunter and also wise enough to fend off other herons that try to steal his catch.....so first thing the herons do after catching a fish ....run with your catch....and eat in solitude,,,,

Habitat:

With a range that spans five continents, including much of North America, the Black-crowned Night-Heron is the most widespread heron in the world. It is most active at dusk and at night, feeding in the same areas that other heron species frequent during the day
