Rufescent Tiger-Heron

Rufescent Tiger-Heron at Refugio da Ilha

     Most mornings when I walk out the door I see this bird waiting on the far bank of the river.  The Rufescent Tiger-Heron isine of the more common and spectacular birds at Refudio da Ilha.  Below are two close-ups of a Rufescent Tiger-Heron that show the waved striping and coloration that give the bird its name.
