The **Nycticorax nycticorax**, commonly known as the **black-crowned night heron**, stands gracefully on a rock by a stream. Its striking plumage features a mix of black, white, and gray, with a black crown and a distinctive white face. With its sharp, slender beak and keen eyes, the heron patiently waits, poised for a meal, whether it be small fish or invertebrates. The calm waters of the stream reflect its image as it remains still, a perfect blend of the bird’s stealth and the tranquility of its surroundings.
