Agami Heron
A highlight of the trip was seeing an Agami Heron at Little Bahia in the Darién. While we were looking at it, our guide kept saying they are very shy and the bird was going to fly. The heron stayed put for about three minutes, and when he finally flew, he landed in front of us on a branch in the open where he stayed for another few minutes. He was a beautiful male in breeding plumage, and we could see his blue and purple plumage and the curly blue-gray breeding plumes on his neck.
