A Yellow-crowned Night-heron was on the prowl at the edge of a pond.
He didn’t have to work too hard for it this time, waded into the water and bam!
I’m not sure what it is, a crab or crawfish maybe.
It was good!
Yellow-crowned Night-heron Hunting
Love it! Beautiful pictures! I’ve only seen a Yellow-Crowned Night Heron in passing while on a boat.
Thank you, they are beauties. I think this is one of two pair that are nesting at a connecting pond. First time I’ve seen one of them hunt.
Nice catch, both of you.
Thank you, Hans!
Beautiful pictures Ellen! I love the colors you captured, and the meal! 👏
Thank you, Sandra! I was amazed at how quickly he caught something, then he did it three times in just a few minutes.
Right place right time, yay! Thank you again for sharing.
