Black-crowned Night Heron

The Detroit Zoo is home to a wild colony of Black-crowned night herons. Can you build a nest as well as they do?

 

Celebrating and Saving Wildlife and Wild Places:

Detroit Zoological Society staff support many important bird conservation projects around the world and in our own backyard. Such as the monitoring of the black- crowned night heron colony on Zoo grounds. By supporting the Detroit Zoological Society, you are supporting our conservation work with birds and many other species.

 

 Take Action:

You can support ornithologists, people who study birds, by reporting birds you see in your backyards and neighborhoods. Visit https://ebird.org/home to learn more and get started!
