“Night herons are smart birds, they’ve been observed using bread to bait fish and rapidly opening and closing their bill in water to create a disturbance that may lure prey. But it’s a rare day to actually see a black-crowned night heron do either of these activities because during the day they are usually just perched like statues resting in the sun.”

Thanks so much for commenting on my photo of the black crowned night heron. They are not common for us to see, and we saw two in the same area that day.
