Native to India, introduced to Hawaii Island in 1883 (via Jamaica, where it was also introduced), then introduced to Maui, Molokai, and Oahu; none were introduced on the island of Kauai. Mongoose were imported by the sugar industry to control rats in cane fields. This infamous mistake was made without much knowledge about mongoose. Mongoose, which are active during the day, did not control the rats because the rats are primarily active at night.
Herpestes javanicus (Small Asian Mongoose)
The Black-crowned Night Heron is found in wetland habitats used for foraging and terrestrial vegetation for cover. They nest in groups.
Nycticorax nycticorax (Black-crowned Night Heron)
This killdeer nest of nothing more than a shallow depression in the gravel, was found a busy marina parking lot. The owners of the marina placed cinder blocks around the well-camouflaged nest to prevent cars from running over the eggs. The killdeer mother was standing nearby when this photo was taken. This photo was taken in Easton, MD on May 22, 2014.
