The Black Crowned Night Heron, known is Hawaii as the 'Auku'u, is an impressive bird with a wingspan reaching to 45". Usually seen around streams, ponds, lagoons, exposed reef and tide pools... this particular bird was photographed, while it was fishing, on the island of Lana'i. One of the most unique characteristics of this bird is the iris - it is yellow in the immature bird and turns a striking red color as the bird becomes older.
