An adult black-crowned night heron perches on a dock, June 9, 2021, in Bayou La Batre, Alabama. The night heron is a common bird found in wetlands throughout the world except in the coldest regions. They are easily recoginized by their red eyes and hunchbacked appearance. They are among seven heron species that engage in bait fishing by throwing objects in the water to lure fish. They conceal themselves in foliage and brush in the daytime, foraging for food mostly in the evening and at night. (Photo by Carmen K. Sisson/Cloudybright)
