Juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron at Byodo-In Temple in the Valley of the Temples in O’ahu. This is one of the most peaceful places I’ve ever been, despite the crowds of visitors. My husband found this heron staying perfectly still on the edge of a small side pond. You would have mistaken it for a statue for as long as it we stared at it without any moment.
Thanks again JJ, I have not seen this night heron, we have the Nankeen Night Heron, which is pictured in my last post. I wonder why it is called ‘Black-crowned’?
