Black-crowned Night Heron

Baby Birdorable: Black-crowned Night-Heron

July 29, 2015 in Baby Birds and Herons with 1 comments

If you think our Birdorable birds are cute as adults, what about when they are babies? Below are some baby photos of the Black-crowned Night-Heron. Black-crowned Night-Herons are colonial nesters, building their nests in trees in close proximity to other herons, egrets, and ibises. Incubation takes about 25 days and the chicks leave the nest at about 30 days of age.
