Palace Heron
This Black Crowned Night Heron was reaching for food in a large tree. Black-crowned night herons nest colonially, and often more than a dozen pairs will nest in one tree. There is a small island in the middle of this small lagoon at the Palace of Fine Arts and it was full of Herons, but this one wanted some alone time. Black-crowned Night-herons are gregarious at all times of the year, and are often seen in very large groups.
