Black-Crowned Night Heron
Black-crowned Night Herons don’t have any particular natural predators thanks to the placement of their colonies high in trees, although the young are vulnerable to various predators on the ground before they’re able to fly.
Black-crowned Night Herons get their name due to the fact that they hunt at night and early morning, then rest during the day.
Black-crowned Night Herons are the most widespread of the Heron family.
Black-crowned Night Herons will often nest with other species of birds such as other Herons, Ibises, and Egrets. They will even care for chicks from other species if they’re placed in their nests.
The Black-crowned Night Herons may have evolved their nocturnal feeding habits in order to avoid competition from other species of birds.
