Black-headed Heron

 

The Black-headed Heron is a large, grayish heron of drier habitats with a distinctly dark cap and nape contrasting with white throat.




In flight the underwing is strongly contrasting black-and-white. The juvenile is duskier and duller. It walks slowly, hunting for small animals, and is often found far from water foraging in burnt grassland or open savanna, though it may also occasionally haunt a pond or quiet river bend. Ebird
