night and returning by morning twilight.
This variety of heron species is fairly good

the white and blue herons feeding by
daylight, as we'll as all the biitern family.
Again, all the bittern family, (also the
white and great blue heron,) have long
slim tapering mandibles of equal
thickness. But ifany one will take the
trouble to examine the Qualk, or night
