Night Heron Transform
This is just a video I took at Liberty Square in Taipei. For those who are looking for Night Herons or other birds while visiting Taipei, I recommend Liberty Square. It is about a 100-meter walk from Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall Station (Exit 5), making it very easy to get to. There are two ponds there where you can find a wide variety of birds, making it a great place for birdwatching.

in huntington beach CA. so many herons and egrets at the wetlands this day. looks like the babies are growing up

My first Night Heron 😭🫶
I took these pics at Sandy Hook, NJ. I originally couldn't ID it and figured it was just another heron or egret, but when I got home, I reviewed all of my pics and when I zoomed in on this guy, BAM BCNH, zooping as well!!! I was so excited I immediately ran to add it to my checklist and I still kinda can't believe it. Super cool.

Pretty sure some sort of heron but black egrets don’t live in Florida so idk who this fellar is?
Sorry for the quality! Any ideas? Def thinking in the heron fam

Yellow crowned night heron at Sandy Creek Park.
Saw this cutie at Sandy Creek near the little observation deck along the trail.
Edit to add this park is in Durham.
Ye Shifu's powers of transformation are truly remarkable!
Mating display of the Yellow-crowned night heron
To attract a mate, the YCNH leans forward and then stands up straight and then leans forward again all while fluffing up its feathers.

Saw this video on Instagram and thought my fellow night heron enthusiasts would enjoy it.
Are Green Herons allowed here?
I love my football-shaped little friend so much
