I am Garcita Rayada (Striated Heron)
I am a robust bird and measure between 35 to 48 cm in body length and my weight ranges between 135 and 250 g. I visit Zasqua because I like fresh and salt water bodies. I can be found in the dense vegetation along rivers, lakes and mangroves. I love eating crabs and other crustaceans, molluscs and small fish. In America I am found from United States and Canada to the north of Chile and Argentina through Central America and the Caribbean islands. I am also found throughout most of the African continent, Pacific islands, and Australia.
Watch and listen as I stalk my prey in a swamp.
