Description
I photographed this Boat-Billed Heron while in Costa Rica. The boat-billed heron (Cochlearius cochlearius) is a solitary species found in mangrove swamps and near freshwater, especially rivers and wetlands. They are nocturnal, though the species is known to spend days not only sleeping but also preening and quietly roosting. During mating season however, these herons may hunt and feed during the day, as well.
