Black-crowned Night-Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax hoactli)
Primarily preying upon small fish, crustaceans, aquatic insects, and amphibians (they've also been known to take small mammals and birds), they are one of the heron species observed to engage in bait fishing- luring fish by tossing edible or inedible buoyant objects into the water within their striking range, at Sittee River Wildlife Reserve.
