We spent the morning of Sunday, January 15, 2012, birding along a small tributary (Tapara Creek) of the Amazon below the main confluence of the Ucayali-Marañón Rivers. Brad photographed a Capped Heron, Pilherodius pileatus, as it flew overhead. This stately species flies with wings strongly bowed and close to the horizontal. The blue face and bill base, black cap, light buff-colored wash extending down its front are complemented by the rest of its whitish body. Temperatures were in the mid-70's on this humid morning with overcast skies.
