well, damn if he ain't right again! i missed it as it looks nothing like the adult, and this species' beak is shorter than other herons. kudos, elbert, nice pic, p2.

look at the little chick in the background of the link I posted on bottom and you'll see a little guy peaking out.

Wow, I booked marked that Birds of Belize cornwell.ed link ...cool

Ok I've got a bird question for you why do birds stand on one leg?

i cheated - i looked it up

It's a regular visitor to Marty O'Farrell's house.

Man y'all are some bird lovin fools... I've never seen anything like it!

Go Birds!!! :P
