Description
“Black Crowned Night Heron Chicks” by Patti Deters. Three baby night herons (Nycticorax nycticorax) peak out of their nest at the world below. This clutch of chicks was active high in the pine tree, moving in and out of view, and up and down the tree – though always staying quite high up. Black Crowned Night Herons are not often seen because during the day they generally just sit around hunched over, although the birds become more active at dusk. Fun fact: Social by nature, these birds will nest in colonies with herons and egrets, and will sometimes even raise the other species’ offspring! Photographed in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. If you like this image, I invite you to please share or see my main image gallery (nature, avian, wildlife, and more) at patti-deters.pixels.com.
