Recently, in Costa Rica, two new Agami Heron rookeries or colonies have been discovered.
One of the colonies has at least a thousand birds nesting as I write. This is awesome, as this is one of the shyest herons. Due to their dark green color and slow movements when foraging, they are difficult to spot, even when close.
Here's a small series. I hope you enjoy them!
