Butorides [striata, atricapilla or virescens, excl. sundevalli] (Striated or Green Heron [excl. sundevalli])

Striated or Green Heron [excl. sundevalli]

Butorides [striata, atricapilla or virescens, excl. sundevalli] (= Butorides striata) (Linnaeus, C 1758)

The striated heron also known as mangrove heron, little heron or green-backed heron, is a small heron, about 44 cm tall. Striated herons are mostly non-migratory and noted for some interesting behavioral traits. Their breeding habitat is small wetlands in the Old World tropics from west Africa to Japan and Australia, and in South America and the Caribbean. Vagrants have been recorded on Oceanic islands, such as Chuuk and Yap in the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marianas and Palau; the bird recorded on Yap on February 25, 1991, was from a continental Asian rather than from a Melanesian population, while the origin of the bird seen on Palau on May 3, 2005 was not clear.
