Behavior
Tricolored Herons are migratory birds. North American populations have been documented to "...winter into Colombia and Ecuador" (Kushlan & Hafner, 2000). During the post-breeding season Egretta tricolor disperses "...into the south-central USA" (Kushlan & Hafner, 2000).
Egretta tricolor is very defensive about its hunting area and will charge at other invading Tricolored Herons and other wading bird species (Gobien, 2001).
