More Birds from San Blas

We have traveled north from Bandaras Bay and returned to the small coastal city of San Blas. We quickly arranged a boat trip through the spring-fed Rio Tovaras, so that we could see more of the wonderful birds that reside near San Blas. This Green Kingfisher was one of several making great loops across the river at 7 am this morning.

We saw seven species of herons this morning. This handsome bird is a Tiger Heron. This view, through a telephoto lens, edited to correct exposure, is the best view we have had of this bird's wonderful markings.
