The stripe-backed bittern (Ixobrychus involucris) is a bird species belonging to the family Ardeidae, which includes Herons, Egrets and Bitterns.[2] Commonly found near freshwater swamps, marshes, lake shores and streams, stripe-backed bitterns span over a wide distribution that divides into the northern and southern populations, spanning on both sides of the Andes.[3] Although increasingly recognized and researched worldwide, much life history details are lacking concerning this species, which remains understudied compared to its similar looking sister clade, including the least bittern (Ixobrychus exilis).[4]
