One of the highlights of birding along the Panama Canal was seeing Rufescent Tiger Herons at the Amador Dump. eBird noted that these are unreported in this area, but we spotted several, including this stunning juvenile! 🥰🥰🥰 #Herons #Panama #birdsseenin2025

Interesting name for the Fish Eagle too! Thankyou.
Irish names for Heron include Molly of the Bog for the fact they looked like a cloaked old woman in the mist
