Green Heron:

Cool Facts

The Green Heron is one of the few tool-using birds. It commonly drops bait onto the surface of the water and grabs the small fish that are attracted. It uses a variety of baits and lures, including crusts of bread, insects, earthworms, twigs, or feathers.


The Green Heron is part of a complex of small herons that sometimes are considered one species. When lumped, they are called Green-backed Heron. When split, they are the Green Heron, the widespread Striated Heron, and the Galapagos Heron.


As is typical for many herons, the Green Heron tends to wander after the breeding season is over. Most wanderers probably seek more favorable foraging areas and do not travel far. But,occasionally some go farther, with individuals going as far as England and France.

Hi Adam,
Really amazing the pose caught!
You had a great timing to shot at the precise moment, to get this "stretched" pose on the heron.
It's very good the colour harmony of the pic and the smooth reflections on the water.
Well done and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hi Adam,
Where did you take that pic of a green heron?
I have never seen a green heron in the Bay Area. Very cool!
A great pose you have managed to catch.
Wow, what a long neck.
Great details and colors.
We are back from China and trying to get back into the groove.
I start school next week. : P
Thanks for sharing. : )

I'm curious just where you found this fellow. I love the stretched out pose. The feather pattern on the body is so pretty. Your focus on him is perfect. Nice work

Hi Adam. A fine shot of this heron which seems pretty active. You timed this photo well to make it look very dynamic. Congratulations. TFS. Murray.

Gran formato y encuadre !!! Bellos colores y mucho equilibrio en las simetrías. Una gran fotografía que por lo que veo ( a mi entender) a sido poco calorada.

Saludos Adam.
