		Unlike other herons, Little Herons are not deterred by the rising tide as they are small enough to perch on overhanging branches, though often precariously.
		Little Herons prefer to hunt during the early morning and late evening, in shallow waters lined with vegetation which provide good perches and hiding places: mainly mangroves, estuaries, coral reefs and rocky coasts.

		While some Striated herons are resident throughout the year, during the northern winter, Striated herons from the north do visit Singapore.
		Striated herons don't hunt in groups, but several of these birds may be spaced out over the mudflats or along the shore and among the mangrove tree roots.

	Virtual Galápagos: Wildlife - Coastal Zone - Herons
		Blue herons are strong if slow flyers, but are usually seen quietly waiting; the Galápagos race is, like many other native inhabitants of the archipelago, remarkably tolerant of human beings.
		Unique to the Galápagos is the endemic Lava heron (Ardeola sundevalli), frequently observed along the shores where it feeds on small fish, crabs and lizards; like the other herons it nests in mangroves.
		It is descended from, and perhaps only a variety of, the Striated heron (Ardeola striata), a slightly more distinctly marked bird with pale neck and breast with a fl cap; the lava heron is almost entirely slate gray, ideal camouflage against the basaltic rocks of the islands.

		Herons and egrets are long-legged wading birds found over much of the temperate world, and it's no surprise there are six species of herons found in the Galápagos, five of whom are resident.
		Usually herons feed on small fish or crabs, hence their regular appearance along rivers and coasts.
		The great blue heron is the largest of the Galapagos herons and can be found nesting on most of the larger islands.

		Note the solid neck colouration (appears darker in shade), long back plumes and lack of spotting on wing coverts, which are indicative of an adult.
		The grey sides and rear of the neck with a slight rufous tinge on the face is diagnostic for Striated Heron; in contrast, the locally breeding Green Heron has a rufous neck.
		The neck colouration of this individual was scored as 2 on Payne's hybrid index of 1-9, well within the range of variation of Striated Heron (1-4) and below the range of variation in Green Heron (6-9); for further information on identification, click here.

		Herons usually spear their prey and actually hunt for food, but the broad bill of this heron enables it to scoop up water containing food, so it doesn’t need to hunt.
		Some biologists actually think the broad-billed heron should have its own family because of its unique appearance and way of life.
		Broad-billed herons differ from other herons by pairing off before they arrive at the nesting site.

		It is descended from the Striated heron (Andreola striata).
		The Lava heron has evolved to adapt to its environment through its coloring: while the Striated heron has more distinct markings (pale neck and breast, a fl cap), the Lava heron is a darkish gray all over.
		The Lava heron's coloring enables it to blend in with its environment and therefore hide from predators (2).

	Species Profile - Green Heron - Richard Ditch
		Green-backed Heron was used for about a decade when it was considered to be conspecific with the Striated Heron of Japan, but now both are regarded as distinct species again.
		The closely-related Striated Heron commonly uses bait items to fish; one of the few instances known of animals using tools.
		If you can't get close enough to fill the frame with the heron, then use the setting for the overall composition with the heron as the center of interest.

	Butorides sundevalli
		Payne's table indicates that only 13 are really "pure" Lava Heron phenotype, and 18 have dark gray or gray underparts, darker than South American striatus but paler than typical "Lava Heron." Only two were as pale as South American striatus, but can still be distinguished from them.
		Kushlan (1983), who studied the breeding behavior of Lava Herons (but evidently not the local Striated-like phenotype), noted a number of subtle differences in behavior between Lava Herons and what had been published for South American B.
		"On Lava Heron, it seems to me that the situation on the Galapagos is likely analogous to the Slate-colored Coot situation, with a variable population with one form resembling the near relative (striatus in this case, Fulica americana in the other).
