They have long necks but keep it coiled up.They make a "Kwok!" and if you hide and call out "Kwok!" like a bird, it may "Kwok!" back at you.If one sees a Human it may fly off.SD

Picture of stuffed bird is terrible

The picture of the stuffed heron is not representative of what they look like the the wild - when standing the neck is shorter and the bird is more vertical than horizontal. The stuffed bird looks like a duck with heron coloring! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.132.203.192 (talk) 00:53, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Birds have a lot of postures, it's not that bad! But we have lots of better ones of live birds (see the Wikimedia Commons link), so I've replaced it, and you can change this too. —innotata 02:00, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

File:Bihoreau Gris.jpg to appear as POTD

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Bihoreau Gris.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on June 25, 2015. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2015-06-25. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:21, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Capitalization

I have not looked into the spelling convention, or past consensus, but Black-crowned night heron is a specific type of heron and thus a proper noun, necessitating capitalization of the first word. Otr500 (talk) 15:51, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Range

"a medium-sized heron found throughout a large part of the world, except in the coldest regions and Australasia"

This seems a somewhat bold statement if you compare the map. The bird is found only in very few places in Europe, it is not found in large parts of Asia, it is not found in half of Africa. Would you consider all these regions "the coldest regions"? --87.150.9.21 (talk) 12:33, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

I agree and I have changed it accordingly. Aythya affinis (talk) 15:58, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
