Yellow-Breasted Boatbill - found in FNQ & New Guinea. Its large black bill is wide, long & flat with a distinct keel on the upper mandible, resembling the shape of a boat, hence its name.

🌎 Boat-billed Heron (Cochlearius cochlearius) The Boat-billed Heron is a stocky, medium-sized heron recognizable by its massive, broad, scoop-like black bill and prominent black crest. Adults have pale gray to white plumage with a chestnut belly and black flanks. It's distributed in mangrove swamps and wooded margins of freshwater wetlands across Central and South America (from Mexico to Brazil). This heron is primarily nocturnal, roosting silently by day, and foraging at night. It hunts by standing still or slowly stalking, using its unique bill to scoop up fish, crustaceans, and insects in shallow water. Five subspecies are recognised. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) Fun fact: To aid its nighttime hunting, the Boat-billed Heron has huge, dark eyes that are adapted for excellent low-light vision. 📷: Photo by Drosera74 via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/costa-rica-heron-nature-bird-9847022/ BIQG

BOAT-BILLED HERON (BOATBILL)
Costa Rica

It is a bizarre nocturnal heron of mangroves and freshwater marshes in tropical lowlands and spends the daytime roosting in trees, often in loose groups…

Just now had a mixed flock of fairy gerygone, yellow bellied boatbill, with a spectacled and frilled monarch peruse around. The other day an elusive blue tailed monitor walked by, wasn’t aware of me at all. Last year a dingo trotted by. Many mornings I hear palm cockatoos.

This morning was the monthly bird survey at Hasties Swamp National Park near Atherton in far northern Queensland. Just a few of the species seen.
Black-faced Monarch on its gorgeous nest - a bird of the rainforest in northern Queensland. A Silvereye enjoying a fruit from the Bleeding Heart tree. Many were seen this morning. The Yellow-breasted Boatbill is a flighty songster in the rainforests of northern Queensland. This was one of a family party seen this morning. Eastern Yellow Robins are a delight to see and these two show us their colours front and back. Atherton Tablelands.

In lieu of popcorn (for some reason) the boatbill uses its generous scooper to devour fish, crustaceans, amphibians, and other small animals. Then, belly full, it sleeps away the day in the dense vegetation of a riverbank. 👇
