The Huairavo is a class of heron that only goes out at night, and fishes from the border of chanels, creeks, or lakes. Very often it is sighted near the sea. When flying it croaks very loudly, denouncing its presence during the nigth. For this reason it is also known as "witch". Builds its nest just with its mate or in colonies, on trees, rocks or dense rushes. When young, its feathers are with brown and yellow spots; the adults have their feathers gray with black. |
