One of the things I love about Black-crowned Night Herons is that their Genus name and their species name are the same -- Nycticorax nycticorax
Welcome to Project Noah, klysakowski. We ask that once you have a good ID (which you do in this case) that you edit your spotting and add the common name and the scientific name and a f=reference (Wikipedia is always good for that).
