This is a photo of a boat billed heron who was lurking near the monkeys that I showed during the last few days. I expect that you can tell that this bird is nocturnal. Look at the size of its eyes. These birds grow to 51 cm (20 in.) in length.The jungle holds a wide array of wildlife. Costa Rica has more species of birds than all of the USA and Canada combined, even though it is the size of West Virginia or Switzerland.
This week we are showing photos of the wildlife of the Serengeti in Tanzania on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.
a wonderfully peculiar looking bird, dave.
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous, David. Love all herons.
ReplyDeleteOur little birds visiting at our bird feeders certainly are not as exotic as this one!
ReplyDeleteA great looking bird there, one I have never seen before!
ReplyDeleteNice photo of a very unusual-looking bird. I know that I have never seen one of these.
