Black Crowned Night Heron and White Ibis
This is an image I captured at Alafia Banks via the Hooptie Deux.
Nikon D300, Sigma 300-800mm @ 800mm
ISO 400 1/1600 @ F8
The Black Crowned Night Heron is the top predator of chicks at the Alafia Banks Rookery.
This is a gruesome example of what they are capable of.
Why do they prey on Ibis and other wading bird's chicks? They taste like chicken.
