Black Crowned Night Heron

There are a whole flock of these summering at the zoo. Last year I saw one, way up in a tree, and occasionally perched on a fence. This year I saw about a dozen in one big tree and a few more under it, and watched them fly off periodically to visit someone else. Really quite impressive to see so many at once. This one was kind enough to stalk a bug within camera range and in decent light.
