That is a jamb-up set of pics Greg and thanks for posting.
Regarding the Tiger Heron not being found in North America, Rick Snider and Rick Nirschl found and photographed a Bare-throated Tiger-Heron at Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park, TX HQ on December 21, 2009. This is the first ABA record (if it was accepted). Information available here: http://marybirds.blogspot.com/2009/12/bare-throated-tiger-heron-hidalgo.html
Best,
Tom
Thanks, Tom; appreciate the info on the tiger heron. It was a first for me (among many other birds in Costa Rica). Our guide, Jeff Munoz, had a wealth of information, knowledge, and acumen about local birds. There were a few situations in which a relatively common bird for us Norte Americanos (brown pelican, spoonie) elicited a lot of interest from Costa Ricans; more commonly, it was the other way round! ~Greg
