Black-crowned Night-Heron

Nachtreiher

The Black-crowned Night Heron is an expert at "still fishing". It stands motionless for long periods in or near shallow water, watching and waiting for its prey. It catches small fish with a quick thrust of its bill into the water. Malheur County, Oregon, USA
