Description
The black-crowned night heron (Nycticorax nycticorax), commonly abbreviated to just night heron, is a medium-sized heron found throughout a large part of the world, except in the coldest regions. These birds stand still at the water's edge and wait to ambush prey, mainly at night or early morning. I was fortunate to capture this portrait at Paradise Pond in Port Aransas, Texas.
