One of the coolest features of the Agami Heron is its gorgeous, flowing crest that flutters as it poses and preens. But I've never seen it up close before with the details and textures. #CostaRica #herons #nature #birds

A tall, elegant bird with a long, pointed bill stands among lush green foliage. Its pale blue head feathers drape down its neck like streamers, and its chest displays a striking pattern of fine, dark lines over a white base.

The Agami Herons are very busy right now collecting twigs for their nests. One adult will collect sticks and then the mates will debate the best location for said twig. I'm going to spend some time over the next few weeks documenting the nesting of these amazing birds. #herons #birds #costarica

A striking bird with deep blue wings, chestnut flanks, and a long pointed bill perches among dense green foliage. Pale silvery plumes extend from its head and neck, and its feathers shimmer with fine detail.

More of the amazing Agami Heron, working on its nest here in #CostaRica. I'm going to be working with the owner over the next few months, helping to document this amazing site. #birds #nature #herons #conservation

It's hard to believe these birds are real, even when you have hundreds of them right in front of you. Agami Heron from yesterday. #CostaRica #birds #herons #nature

A slender bird with a long, sharp bill and sleek blue plumage stands alert on a leafy branch. Its chest is adorned with intricate pale feather patterns, and elegant neck plumes drape over its back.

A bit of drama today at Agami Island as this male got into a fight with another male displaying nearby. There was some snapping and bill clacking and this guy then goes into full-on dance mode with his crest expanded. At Agami Island #costarica #birds #herons #nature #testosterone

A great blue heron fishes at dusk at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal color photograph, a weathered log stretches across the pond from right to left. At its far end, a heron bends forward, intent on the water below as it hunts. The scene is almost perfectly mirrored on the pond’s surface, reflecting both the bird and the angled branch. Soft, cotton-candy clouds and the deepening blue of the twilight sky ripple gently in the water. Near the midpoint of the branch, a strand of fishing line or netting is caught, trailing beneath the surface. It’s a striking, contemplative scene—capturing both the quiet beauty of nature and the subtle traces of a more chaotic world.
