Night Heron
I have lived in this neighborhood for several years and this was the first time I saw this animal up close. I'm pretty sure I've seen different species of heron flying during the day so obviously they couldn't be the Yellow-crowned Night-Heron. I am a bit curious on what Nyctanassa violacea found in our neighborhood, considering we don't have any water flowing through it, like a river or a lake. We get flood water that will get mosquito larvae at best. I thought it would prefer something like crawfish or crabs based off the reading given off of iNaturalist. The ones in my area were probably living off of insects and frogs or traveling very far to get other sources of food.
