Description
Two black-crowned night herons sit perched along the water's edge at East Lake located on the north side of Birmingham, Alabama. These birds stand still at the water's edge and wait to ambush prey, mainly at night or early morning. They primarily eat small fish, crustaceans, frogs, aquatic insects, small mammals, reptiles and small birds. During the day they rest in trees or bushes.
