Amazonas06 - 300 * The Agami Heron, Agamia agami, is a medium-sized heron. It is sometimes known as the Chestnut-bellied Heron. The Agami Heron's habitat is forest swamps and similar wooded wetlands. They nest in small colonies on platforms of sticks in trees over water. The normal clutch is two blue eggs. (Wikipedia)

Amazonas06 - 301 * This uncommon and localised species is 66-76cm in length. Agami is short-legged for a heron, but has a very long thin bill. (Wikipedia)

Amazonas06 - 302 * This is a beautiful and unmistakable bird. The neck and underparts are chestnut, with a white line down the centre of the foreneck, and the wings are green. There are wispy pale blue feathers decorating the head, sides of the foreneck and lower back. The legs, bill and bare facial patch are dull yellow. (Wikipedia)

Amazonas06 - 303 * Despite its stunning plumage, this reclusive species' preference for shade and overhanging vegetation means that it is rarely seen at its best. (Wikipedia) We saw it at its best!
