I'm no bird psychologist, but I'm pretty sure this black-crowned night-heron wasn't overjoyed to see me. I caught him waiting for some unwary fish to go by at a small stretch of white water along the Don River. Perhaps he thought I was there for fish too.Night-herons BTW are the most common herons in the world and can be found on five of the...let me count my fingers...seven continents. If you want an image of a heron they're a good bet because they aren't nearly as skittish as Great Blue Herons. That doesn't mean you can run at them while yelling however. Always be discreet and deliberate when approaching any kind of bird.
