Abstract
Twelve species of birds have been reported to prey upon amphisbaenians (Squamata: Amphisbaenidae). We document the first report of predation on an amphisbaenian by a heron (Pelecaniformes: Ardeidae). On 1 November 2012 we photographed a Whistling Heron Syrigma sibilatrix preying on an Amphisbaena heterozonata at Tucumán, Argentina.
