Black-crowned Night-heron Portrait

The Black-crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax) is a medium-sized heron found throughout a large part of the world. It is most active at dusk and at night, feeding in the same areas that other heron species frequent during the day. This closeup portrait of the Black-crowned Night-heron was taken at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge.
