Since I don’t have many animal images from my visit to the National Parks in Utah, I will be separating every two landscape shots with one from my trip to Brazil in 2016. This is the first one.
On the Cuiaba River, these herons could be found about every quarter mile on the shoreline protecting their territories.
The cocoi heron (Ardea cocoi) is a species of heron in the family Ardeidae. It is common and widespread throughout most of South America including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, and Venezuela. It is a non-breeding visitor to Trinidad and Tobago and a vagrant to the Falkland Islands and Tristan da Cunha. Its natural habitats are rivers, swamps, and freshwater lakes. - Wikipedia
