If you want to see more Black-crowned Night Herons make a trip to Chicago. There is a huge wild colony that has nested at the Lincoln Park Zoo above the wolf compound for years now. Around 700 birds, Endangered bird in Illinois but they spread out all over Chicago every night. In the spring you can watch them flying back and forth with branches they have broken off nearby trees.

Hey Stephen, thanks for the advice! I have since this video seen them more out in the open with some images captured fortunately but that sounds worthwhile to put on my traveling list. Thanks for watching too!
