The Boat-billed Heron (Cochlearius cochlearius) is one of my favourite birds. This recently completed painting is approximately life-sized. They are about the size of a night-heron or a large crow, weighing in around 600 grams or nearly a pound and a half. They eat a wide variety of live food, including fish, amphibians, snakes, lizards, large insects, eggs, crabs and other aquatic life. These birds are found from southern Mexico south into tropical South America, both along the coasts, where they favour mangroves, and in wooded swamps and wetlands throughout much of the forested interior of South America. Their population has been estimated to be as low as half a million to as many as five or six million. As you might guess from its large eyes, the species is, like the night-herons it somewhat resembles, mostly nocturnal. The painting is in oils on birch panel and is 24 by 18 inches.
