Black-crowned Night Heron

Nycricorax nycticorax

Description:

Brown and gray bird with red eyes. I believe it's a type of Night Heron but I don't know which.

Habitat:

Seaport Village docks

Notes:

I was taking a photo of the reflection of the boats in the water when this bird walked into the shot. This is the only pic I got of it but majorly cropped it for the second upload.

It might be a juvenile.

Thanks Ava! I wasn't sure if it was because there was so much brown on the top wing.
