Sunbittern from my Saturday 1-17-2009 trip the National Aviary in Pittsburgh, PA. This species inhabits forested areas near water sources throughout Mexico to northern South America. They feed on insects, crustaceans and small fish and are known to be excellent fly and spider catchers. They are plentiful in the wild.
