Description
A young black crowned night-heron (Nycticorax nycticorax) searches for food in a pile of nets in a fishing boat. It is a relatively common and widespread species, found worldwide except for Australasia and the Polar regions and seems to be equally at home in freshwater wetlands and coastal regions. The brown plumage that is streaked white shows this is a juvenile bird; the photo was taken in the fishing port of Arica on the Pacific coast of northern Chile.
