Can the USA birders tell me if Yellow-Crowned Night Herons usually get up to strange behaviour during the day? I saw this one going through a five minute sun-worship exercise during the heat of the afternoon in the Bahamas last summer.
It very slowly fanned and lowered its wings, and even more slowly turned its head from side to side. I took this picture in the middle of its routine.
It seemed strange to me, but then I'd never seen a night heron before (or since).
