Species Notes
We see Black-crowned Night-Heron at least
9 times a year.
Between 1996 and
2012, we've seen Black-crowned Night-Heron
at 67 different locations.
Mary returned from her first birding class talking about this bird, calling it Disney-like; the hunched-over posture, the gleaming red eye. We first decided to purchase binoculars on an early outing when we couldn't distinguish between a night heron and a styrofoam meat tray.
