About These Birds

Agami Heron

The Agami Heron is a near-threatened, strikingly patterned wading bird with a wingspan of about 55 cm and a weight of around 528 g. It inhabits shaded forest streams and swampy areas in Central and South America, where it stands motionless before striking with its exceptionally long, sharp bill.

Black-headed Heron

The Black-headed Heron is a large, stately heron with a black crown and hindneck, gray body plumage, and a contrasting white throat and foreneck. It is widespread across sub-Saharan Africa, inhabiting grasslands, marshes, cultivated land, and open country—often far from water compared to other herons. It feeds on insects, frogs, rodents, and small birds, standing motionless or stalking prey on foot.
