Little Blue Heron wading at the edge of a canal in Tortuguero National Park, Costa Rica - Feb 2005.This photo was taken during the day but the canopy cover was dense, so a flash was used to provide lighting.
The Tricolor Heron or Egretta Tricolor stalks its prey from southeastern U.S. to the coasts of northern South America. This one is on the Pacific coast of Darien Province, Panama.
