As a Taipei citizen, I used to think it is hard to see Black-crowned Night-Heron, and thought that they're rare.
But walking in NTU, I know that I was totally wrong.
I found these birds everywhere.
Just like their name, they are most active at night.
At night when walking around drunken moon lake, I even need to be careful, watch out my head, because they might appear flying very low above my head.
They once nearly crashed on my head.
When you look into the lake in the night and see something standing looking just like a bird, it's not that you are having any illusion, instead, it might possibly be a Black-crowned Night-Heron.
They often standing in the lake and looking at one direction very long time, as if they are pondering their bird lives, but they maybe are just hunting, searching for their prey.
Sometimes it's a little difficult to recognize them, because of their color.
How many Black-crowned Night-Heron can you find in pictures below?

回覆刪除I am enjoy to see the birds that appeared around the drunken moon lake , too. Sometimes they even fly into the classroom to have a calculus class with us!
回覆刪除Birds in NTU especially near "醉月湖" are friendly and not afraid of people. Though I didn't know their name, it is still joyful to see them "having a big meal" in front of you.
