The Agami Herons spend a lot of time checking the nest to make sure it's secure. Here you can see two blue eggs.

At Agami Island #CostaRica

A striking bird with a chestnut-red back, dark blue wings, and long, pale blue head plumes is standing on a nest made of sticks. Its long black bill points downward as it tends to the nest, surrounded by green leaves and thin branches.
