Black Crowned Night Heron

I rarely see Black Crowned Night Herons because they are largely nocturnal and don't really move visibly until dusk or after. This particular night Heron was still up and about at about 8:40 AM on March 27, 2015 and I got several shots of it. These herons are much shorter and stockier than most other herons and the bills are much more solid looking. The taxonomic name is Nycticorax nycticorax.
