      There were easily 40-50 herons in this large pond and I watched a bunch land. They all looked like they were going to crash hard! It was really an amazing place. Posted 7 years ago

        That's incredible! What an experience. I love watching them, and you're so right - they do look like they are going to crash when landing ;) Posted 7 years ago

    Interesting refuse name, as Montezuma is also a reserve in Costa Rica, as well as Colombia :) Posted 7 years ago
