Information about the Boat-Billed Heron:
The Boat-Billed Heron Heron – sometimes just called a “boatbill” is an atypical member of the heron family. It was formerly thought to be in a monotypic family, Cochlearidae but has since been moved into family Ardeidae. It’s native the warm mangrove swamps from Mexico south to Peru and Brazil. It is a nocturnal bird, and breeds semi-colonially in mangrove trees, laying 2-4 bluish white eggs in a twig nest. The boat-billed heron is about 21 inches long (54 cm). The massive broad scoop-like bill, which gives rise to this species’ name, is mainly black. This wading birds feeds on primarily on fish, rodents, eggs, crustaceans, insects and amphibians.

Artist’s notes:
The Boat-Billed Heron illustration was completed on 2.11.2015. There are some drawings I do – well a lot of them actually – where I know I will likely never use the drawing for any commercial purpose, nor will anyone buy a print, decal or t-shirt of the animal. This felt true for this bird. I hadn’t ever heard of it until I started researching some of the world’s heron species. I fell in love with the bird and knew I had to draw it. It will be part of a collage I’m putting together of the world’s herons. The drawing is based on a by and was used with permission.
