Black-crowned Night-Heron
Black-crowned Night-Herons often spend their days perched on tree limbs or concealed among foliage and branches and normally feed between evening and early morning, avoiding competition with other heron species that use the same habitat during the day.
Their diet includes leeches, earthworms, insects, crayfish, clams, mussels, fish, amphibians, lizards, snakes, turtles, rodents, birds, and eggs.
They are social birds that tend to roost and nest in groups, although they typically forage on their own.
