About These Birds
Black Heron
The Black Heron is a medium-sized, all-black heron famous for its unique canopy-feeding technique, in which it spreads its wings like an umbrella over the water to create shade and attract fish. It inhabits shallow freshwater lakes, marshes, and flooded grasslands across sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar. It feeds primarily on small fish and aquatic invertebrates attracted to the shade created by its distinctive wing canopy.

The Bare-throated Tiger-heron is a large heron of the family Ardeidae found in mangroves, rivers, and wetlands from Mexico through Central America to Colombia. Weighing about 974.7g with a wingspan of 74.3cm, it has a distinctive bare yellow throat and intricately barred plumage. It is a solitary hunter, stalking fish and amphibians in aquatic habitats.
