A long-legged tropical bird found in Central and South America, related to the crane and heron families.
From Tupi (Brazilian indigenous language) 'agámi,' the native name for this bird. The term was adopted by naturalists studying South American fauna.
The agami bird has one of the most distinctive calls in the rainforest—a loud, penetrating double-note that echoes through the canopy and sounds almost like an alarm, which is why locals can hear them before seeing them!
