Fasciated tiger-heron        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Fasciated tiger-herons, like the closely related rufescent tiger-heron, are medium-sized herons from the neotropics.   Both species are often seen posing on riverbanks, lakes, or in trees.   These were on the Manu and Madre de Dios rivers in southeastern Peru.
