Brazilian birds: Cocoi heron (Ardea cocoi), South Atlantic Ocean coast at Lagoa do Peixe, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Interesting to see this heron foraging on the coast with waves crashing... I normally think of them foraging in calmer fresh water or brackish water...

Some large format prints (limited edition) are now for sale at Freshwater Studio & Gallery in Missoula, Montana.
