Black Crowned Night Heron


Very close to my house in Mangalore; on a revered Banyan tree a group of Night Herons have started nest building. This is the first set of images from that location. Will keep visiting the spot for more photographs of this bird.
For some reason these birds build nests on tress, which are close to busy roads in cities. Any one having any explanation please let me know.
Awaiting all your comments.

  2. Delson, I really ejoyed your photos. No clue as to why the herons nest in that way. I looked up the field guide by Grimmett, but no answers there. Keep up the good work. (was told about you by Fr. Vincy D'Souza).
