Boat-billed Heron (Cochlearius cochlearius) (Immature) Range: LA more info Photo by Tom Friedel Lowry Park Zoo Tampa, Florida	Sizes: Request 2526x2478
Although this photo is from a zoo, I saw a lot of Boat-billed Herons near Carara National Park in Costa Rica. If you read my trip report, you can get more info. This bird and the ones I saw in Costa Rica seemed very reluctant to move for anything, which is consistent with it being a nocturnal bird like a Night-heron.
