Lengh - 25.6 in. / 65 cm.
Still not so much information about this bird. Birders call it a "ghost bird".
Lives around clean rivers and streams in the forest. Prefer rocky rivers. Lives alone and disappear quickly flying along the river when notice human presence.

Great bird! Though I have to admit when I first read the blog title, I thought it said "Fascinated" tiger heron.
SvaraRaderaWell, I'm fascinated, even if the bird isn't.
Very interesting coloring on the Heron. Nice photos!
SvaraRaderaVery nice photos of the Tiger-Heron! You were lucky to see this "ghost bird"
SvaraRaderaI didn't have time to try to find your Watery Wednesday post so I'll post here. These are great shots. Interesting bird.
SvaraRaderaA "ghost bird" as BK says, my first Fasciated TH for Panama was last year, after 15 years birding!
