We tried to find the answer of previous question: “What kinds of foods are consumed by Yellow Crowned Night Heron?”

Online searching found that there are 3 (three) categories (types) of this bird menus, they are:

- fish
- crustaceans
- other small critters.



Image 2- Beautiful flowers

The crowned night herons consume any kind of little fish which they are able to catch in the shallow waters.

Crawfish and crabs are the main crustaceans eaten by night herons. Crawfish looks like little crab.

These crustaceans are found easily in the areas such as:

- ditches
- canals
- swamps
- wetlands
- rivers
- lakes

In respect to other small critters, crowned night heron's diets may include frogs, rodents, mollusks (clams and mussels), insects and even snakes.

  2. Nice bird, not far from my home there is a place intended for observing the passage of migratory birds from Africa, which come and go depending on the time of year, it is fascinating.
    Best regards.
