This shallow river is teaming with life and fish – in the middle of the desert. I wonder how the fish could end up here – are they remnants of the time when the Altiplano was part of the Pacific?
In any case they make up a good portion of the Heron’s diet, and they were plentiful at this river! This one is a dark juvenile.
Thanks to Andrew Whitehouse for identification.
