Spotted an interesting behavior from this juvenile black-crowned night heron the other day. This appears to be a fish-luring technique called bill vibration that is more common in these low visibility waters where it’s hard to spot prey. The small movements at the surface of the water are thought to attract curious fish, which can then be snatched up by feel! No luck for the little guy on this occasion but probably good practice to get the move down at least.
