Boat-billed heron (Cochlearius cochlearius)


The boat-billed heron is a bird of Central and South America that lives mainly in the freshwater parts of mangrove swamps. It is secretive and nocturnal, somewhat like the night herons of the Old World. Little is known of its habits, but it has been observed standing or walking slowly in shallow water, using its broad bill to scoop up shrimps and other invertebrate prey.
