Description

I'm guessing this guy is a 1 year old. Hi beak is certainly like the Boat Billed guys. He was on top of my palapa at Birdland and I had my video camera in my hand. This is a grabbed frame from that. He stood and watched me for several minutes but when the dogs started barking he flew off - very clumsy flight into the brush.

ScubaLdy	That answer makes me happy. Do I have to wait for more adult plumage to tell if it is a Black-Crowned or Yellow-Crowned one? _________________________ Harriette Take only pictures leave only bubbles

elbert	AZBOB, They look this way when their young and change when they get mature, like us with black hair or hair period. _________________________ The Dive Shops Daily Blog http://scubalessonsbelize.blogspot.com/

Rykat	identical coloring and shape of night herons in NJ(very frequent along waterfront here year round) BUT appears much taller - man can they toss a blood-curdling scream! _________________________ "... Pot had helped maybe a little blow when you could afford it." Barack Obama
