Yellow-crowned night heron
A year-round bird for us, often found along the salt marshes and mangroves along the coast as well as in the freshwater wetlands. Despite the name, they're out day and night, and feed anytime on various crawfish and crabs, as well as fish, frogs, and anything else they can nab. The yellow-and-black striped head and striking orange eyes make them hard not to notice!
