Tiger Heron

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

This image was taken on my recent trip to Costa Rica. In Tortuguero [ which is on the Caribbean coast ] along the banks of the river I photographed this tiger heron. Each side of the river is rainforest and a wonderful place for them to hide.

I fixed it for you, comadre.
I love the diagonal weed framing the angry heron :)
Nice habitat and DOF used.

Hey Judy Lynn,
It's there now! Looks like a combo of a night heron and greenie! Light looks very good and I like the way you captured him peeking out of the brush. This is the first one I have seen of this species and sounds like you had an awesome trip!
