Black-headed Heron


 

Black-headed Heron; Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

The black-headed heron looks very much like the great blue heron.
Black-headed Heron

When I saw this wading bird in Serengeti National Park I thought at first  it was a great blue heron.  But then I quickly noticed it was darker and more blue than the bird I know fairly well.  This bird doesn’t have a black head in spite of its name, and the great blue heron does have a black top to its head.     Anyway, they’re both handsome birds.
