Herons tend to hunt for food. They eat mainly fish, frogs, tadpoles, and other aquatic life. However, I have also seen them take field mice and ducklings.
Whenever they catch something - they hunt by sight so can hunt whenever there is sufficient light, which can be at night if there is a clear sky and a bright moon, or even artificial lighting.
Blue herons and the Lesser Blue Herons are prevalent where I live. They like shallow fresh water ponds or lakes where there are a lot of fish for them to eat. Since herons hunt by sight, murky water is not very helpful for them, as they cannot see the fish.
