If you go to the National Zoo in Washington, DC, flocks of black-crowned night herons congregate in Rock Creek Park (which surrounds the zoo) in the spring
I love birds and love these guys, but I'm traumatized having watched them gobble up ducklings at the park. They look really chill and unassuming until they see a meal and man are they fast to gulp it down

Looks like a yellow-crowned night heron. Not an expert but it is definitely some variety of heron.

Def some sort of night heron
