Boat-billed Heron boat_billed_heron_205667.psd

Photo of juvenile Boat-billed Heron hidden in dense riverside forest. This bird is of the pale nominate race but the juvenile is dark with coffee-coloured rather than white breast and face and looks rather similar to the adults of the northern races. Compare with the following three photos of Boat-billed Herons taken in Costa Rica.
