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)
