Description
BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT HERON-`AUKU`U This large (2 feet tall) dark and light gray waterbird is indigenous to Hawaii and is found on all the main Hawaiian Islands. The `auku`u is a stealthy hunter feeding on fish, mice, crustaceans, insects and the chicks of other waterbirds as well. Though most commonly seen in freshwater habitats, it can also be seen hunting in tide pools and exposed reefs during low tides.
