What an absolute creature. Not anywhere near where they like to live, landscape-wise.

Walter was found in the Tampa, Florida area in January, he’s a freeloader at a nearby restaurant.

I usually see them around Lake Merritt, it looks like it has a string on the back of its neck. If this bird is as common as seeing Sea Gulls then I feel ridiculous because I just started to notice them lol

Not night herons, but I thought these least bittern fledglings were deserving of a little appreciation. Seen at the Riparian Preserve in Gilbert, AZ.

Located in north Texas.

Anyone know what kind of bird this is? It was at the pond in my neighborhood the other day. I’ve tried to find it again to get better pictures but I haven’t seen it since then. The pond is usually full of ducks, a great blue heron or two, and at this time of year migrating geese, but I’ve never seen this type of bird there before.

Some recent black crowned night heron photos!

Goober

I just moved to this state and Saw this while out fishing today, I live in Eastern Arizona and haven’t seen it before.

I love the color of the feathers as this juvenile grows into an adult

A lovely night in Casco Viejo. If memory serves, the mangled remains of a giant frog

My friend sent me a picture of this bird which I thought was a black-crowned night heron but it doesn't have red eyes. Could this just be a lighting issue...?

I think this is somewhere in Taiwan.
