Agami Heron - Costa Rica - October, 2021

My number one most wanted bird on this trip was the beautiful and rare Agami Heron. I knew it would be a tough bird to find; not only is it not numerous, but it is very secretive. Leave it to Juan Diego to find it on one of our three boat trips. It first appeared out of nowhere, flying straight at us at very close range. It flared and plunged in to thick cover where I managed some mediocre shots of this spectacular bird!

These photos were taken with a Canon 7D Mark ii Digital Camera with a 100-400mm zoom lens.
