Description

This adult black-crowned night heron was looking for fish in a waterway at Carson Lake Wetlands near Fallon, Nevada. Black-crowned Night-Herons are stocky birds compared to many of their long-limbed heron relatives. Theyare most active at night or at dusk, when you may see their ghostly forms flapping out from daytime roosts to forage in wetlands. In the light of day adults are striking in gray-and-black plumage. Two or three long white plumes, erected in greeting and courtship displays, extend from the back of the head. These social birds breed in colonies of stick nests usually built over water. They live in fresh, salt, and brackish wetlands and are the most widespread heron in the world.
