Description
'Auku'u is the Hawaiian name for the Black Crowned Night Heron. This image was taken one early morning near a lagoon full of small fish which is this bird's early morning breakfast. This beautiful bird is found throughout North and South America as well as Australia. It feeds off of the wetlands and with a 31 percent decrease in wetlands, conservationists are working hard to keep the bird from becoming extinct.
