Krabi-ööhaigrut võib kohata Lõuna-Kanadast Tšiili ja Uruguayni, kuid
pildil oleva alamliigi caliginis elupaik ulatub Panamast Peruuni. Nagu
haigrud ikka, hoiab ta erinevate märgalade ja veekogude ligidusse ning
nimi "ööhaigur" tuleneb sellest, et ta eelistab toitu hankida pimedas.
Foto sai tehtud Vaikse ookeani kaldal, Santa Elena provintsis,
Ecuadoris.
Yellow-crowned Night-heron can be found from Southern Canada to Uruguay
and Chile but the subspecies caliginis (that is on the photo) lives in
the area between Panama and Peru. As usual for herons, its preferred
habitats are wetlands and the shores of different water bodies and the
name "night-heron" comes from the fact that it favors hunting and
feeding after dark. The photo was taken by the Pacific coast in Santa
Elena province, Ecuador.
