Description
The reason the stocky Black-Crowned Night Heron looks so funny, is that it is usually found with its neck pulled in. Its neck and legs are much shorter than other herons. It has a black crown, black on its back, and its wings are bluish-gray. There are 2-3 long thin white plumbs that extend back from the back of the head. It has a slightly down-curved, thick, dark bill. The area of skin around the bill (called lores) are bluish-green; and it has yellow legs and feet. It is found in fresh and saltwater habitats, marshes, lakes, streams, swamps and agricultural areas.
This beautiful bird, was photographed in South Carolina USA.
Thank you for looking at my Photography!!!
