Description
Beautifully back-lit Yellow-crowned Night-heron (Nyctanassa violacea) wades the reflective marsh waters at J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island, Florida.
J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge is the number one spot for birding in America. Home to over 245 species of birds both migratory and residential, you are bound to see our avian inhabitants on refuge property.
More solitary and often more secretive than the Black-crowned Night-Heron, the Yellow-crowned is still quite common in parts of the southeast. Particularly in coastal regions, often feeds by day as well as by night. Its stout bill seems to be an adaptation for feeding on hard-shelled crustaceans -- it is called 'crab-eater' in some locales.
