I am a VERY novice bird watcher. I saw this bird in Rio de Janeiro, perched atop a light post at seashore. Have tried to identify it with no luck.

Can anyone help ?

Thanks,

O Velejador

Hello there O Velejador and a warm welcome to you from those of us on staff here at BirdForum :t:

You've got yourself a Night Heron - Black Crowned. Beautiful shot too.

KC's got it. It's a Black-crowned Night heron. That's a nice photo you have there too.
