The Boat-Billed Heron. One of the most ancient of Heron lines: They’ve been minding their own business since the mid-Miocene.
The unique beak is used in very traditional Heron ways: Spearing and grabbing
In bonding, the male holds the female's beak at the tip and they move, rhythmically together 💋

Boat-billed Heron at Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge #CostaRica
I love their large eyes that help them hunt at night.

To see any animal blur the line between what we consider the human and non-human spheres is eerie, but also humbling. And this hawk did it better than most. Katherine J. Wu reports:
The Most Ingenious Hawk in New Jersey
A zoologist observed a Cooper’s hawk using a pedestrian signal as a cue to ambush its prey.

One of those days when getting up at 4AM was worth it. Great Crested Grebe enjoying the early morning serenity seemingly as much as I did.

Keeping up the #PSA theme... Keep your eye on what's important. Focus. Do not let yourself be drawn into the crazymaking that is the news cycle today.
This Great White Egret was outside my patio yesterday looking for geckos.

One of the highlights of birding along the Panama Canal was seeing Rufescent Tiger Herons at the Amador Dump. eBird noted that these are unreported in this area, but we spotted several, including this stunning juvenile! 🥰🥰🥰 #Herons #Panama #birdsseenin2025
