Yellow-crowned Night Heron

Nyctanassa violacea

Description:

A Yellow-crowned Night Heron in an oak tree. I think this one was male. A nest of its young was behind the bird, and it was guarding them closely.

Habitat:

It lived in a suburban neighborhood, nesting in a tall oak tree.

Notes:

For some reason, the website wasn't letting me put the link to my youtube video. I will put the link here instead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRFSQnP-...
