Crabbing with Yellow-crowned Night-Herons

 Yellow-crowned Night-Herons are very much crustacean specialists, eating in large part crabs, although they will also eat small fish, frogs, reptiles and mammals just like other herons.  I've even seen them feeding in fields at night, presumably eating insects and/or mammals.  Thursday night at Heislerville I watched three, two adults and an immature bird, catch crab after crab right as the sun was setting.
