He *is* the night.. the Black Crowned #nightheron is next for my sticker design! He will have no background but I might print it with the green one too. Still learning color theory ^^; what do you think he's up to?

This bird was photographed on Maui, but you can also look for the ʻaukuʻu around the edges of the fishponds protected inside our partner Kaloko-Honokōhau NHP on Hawaiʻi Island. Visiting Kailua-Kona? The park is less than two miles north of town!

Lovely photo. It's been far too long since I've seen a BCNH.

No, he seguido bien la odisea. Si pinchas en el enlace verás que es una noticia de hace dos meses. En es momento ya tenían problemas con lo de los retretes (en algunos lados decían que porque están mal diseñados), lo del supuesto incendio (Irán dice otra cosa) es posterior. bsky.app/profile/bcnh...

Juvenile Yellow-crowned Night Heron (Nyctanassa violacea) on an island. Distinguished from Black-crowned juvenile by the small white wing spots, which are larger and more teardrop shaped on a BCNH than a YCNH.

This is incredible! Looks exactly like the BCNH but with a different beak. I can’t wait to explore Costa Rica.

In Taiwan there are Malayan Night-herons that have several distinct different plumages. They walk right up to you in the park. Also BCNH and about 6 kinds of white egrets and herons.

Here’s an immature YCNH for your amusement. The one distinguishing factor is the eye color. The BCNH have bright red eyes, while the YCNH have orange eyes. 🪶📸
