Fancy Bird
Same heron, same day, as this photo. I forgot to upload this one. https://www.birdforum.net/gallery/yellow-crowned-night-heron-display-plumage.660454
He was showing off to another heron, which I assume was a female. Now and then he would dip like this and make a "bwoo" noise. I'm not sure if she was impressed, as I haven't seen either of them since.
Scientific name
Nyctanassa violacea

Another of your fine display images has been used today, 30 March 2021, as part of the illustration connected to the Yellow-crowned Night Heron article in Opus.

Your generous sharing of your work is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
