I had been concerned the Green Herons would not be around much this year. The last week or so has proven me very wrong.
They didn’t nest in this rookery, which is too bad. This is a great place to sit and capture feeding on through flight school. Maybe next year.
Beautiful bird, Ted! I love the large bole of the tree as a backdrop.
They really are pretty, and those colors and shadings allow them to easily blend into the trees and swamps. Lucky for us they are around since the tall waders are dispersing.
