Bare-throated Tiger-Heron: Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica, December 2023 \u2014 Not far up the Sarapiqui from the dock our boat captain started maneuvering us in close to the far bank of the river, clearly looking for something. What we saw first was the immature (fledgling) Tiger-Heron on a downed tree trunk at the waterline. But then the adult emerged from the vegetation and gave us good looks. The fledgling was becoming increasingly agitated, assuming all kinds of begging postures, and sure enough the adult came over and deposited a largish fish from its crop into the beak its offspring\u2026though the fledgling was fully as large as the adult. It was, as our guide pointed out, a real \u201cgeographic moment\u201d\u2026all any wildlife photographer could want. This sequence of shots does not do it full justice\u2026but it is a close as I could come. \ud83d\ude42 OM Systems OM-1 with ED 100-400mm IS zoom at 600mm equivalent.
