Rufescent tiger-heron        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Rufescent tiger-herons, like the closely related fasciated tiger-heron, are medium-sized herons from the neotropics.   Both species are often seen posing on riverbanks, lakes, or in trees.   These were lurking near a small oxbow lake ('cocha') in southeastern Peru.
