Birds of the Lam Tsuen River
Black-crowned night heron (Nycticorax nycticorax)

I was just reading about these birds on Wikipedia and found this interesting bit:
"For a short period during courtship at the start of the nesting season, the legs of adults turn bright salmon-pink, and the bare skin around the eyes blue."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-crowned_night_heron#Description

I took a photo of one and didn't even notice. Faaaaaaantastic! 🫤

Walking along the Lam Tsuen River

I realized I like looking at boats and black-crowned night herons apparently.

Black Crowned Night Heron doing his best falcon impression. I've never seen one posture quite like this- We surprised each other so I imagine this is a defensive strategy. #heron #nightheron #blackcrownednightheron #florida #everglades #birds #nature #vogel #oiseaux #naturephotography #birdphotography #birdwatching #wildlifeconservation #naturfotografie #birdsofpixelfed #Ornithologie #birds #natgeo #natgeonature
