- Annual Houseguests at Smithsonian's National Zoo
- Description
- One local bird makes itself right at home at the Zoo. The black-crowned night heron is native to the Washington, D.C. area, and nearly 400 of them return to the Zoo each year. Every day at 2 p.m., the herons gorge themselves on fish and mice placed in the outdoor enclosures by animal care staff. These feeding demonstrations will take place until the herons fly south for the winter.
