Black-crowned Night Heron and Red-eared Slider

I spotted an unusual Black-crowned Night Heron near the water.

I went to observe the waterfront in the morning. I found a Black-crowned Night Heron, which I don't usually see there.

Black-crowned Night Heron and Red-eared Slider

A juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron was standing on a branch in the water where Red-eared Sliders were lined up. The Red-eared Sliders were looking up at the Black-crowned Night Heron.

The Black-crowned Night Heron and Red-eared Sliders were keeping a subtle distance from each other.
