Little Blue Heron and Green Heron: Danta Corcovado Lodge, Puerto Jimenez, Costa Rica (Osa Peninsula) \u2014 On the second day at Danta Corcovado Lodge on the Osa Peninsula we boarded an open wagon on tall wheels, behind a tractor with even bigger wheels, for a 2 hour drive up the bed of the Rio Rincon deep into Corcovado National Park\u2026forging the stream itself maybe 30 times, and driving on the stony bed and sand beaches beside the water the rest of the way. It was an amazing journey, totally unique in my experience. We saw lots of birds and a few monkeys along the river. And it was simply a lot of fun! We found these two herons, Little Blue and Green in the reed beds between the Lodge and the river, where we crossed a small stream on its way to river as we were. There is a road the runs into the Park, but, I have to say, the wagon is the way to go\u2026at least on a day when it is not raining. And of course, the river has to be low enough to allow the crossings. Environmental shots iPhone SE with Sirui 18mm lens. Herons with the Sony Rx10iv at 517 and 485mm equivalents. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 400 (Little Blue) 100 and 125 (Green) @ f4 @ 1\/500th. <\/p>\n
