Agami Heron (Agamia agami) Science Article 1

abstract

Although some information on the breeding of the Chestnut-bellied Heron (Agamia agami) in other countries has been published (Michener et al. 1964, Haverschmidt 1968, J. Hancock and H. Elliot 1978), no previous breeding records have been reported for Venezuela. On 26 July 1980, we located three nests of this heron, each with two nestlings, in a seasonal marsh surrounded by forest close to the village of Santa Rosa, Estado Barinas.
