[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Their habitat is small wetlands in low-lying areas. Green Herons are most conspicuous during dusk and dawn, and if anything these birds are nocturnal rather than diurnal, preferring to retreate to sheltered areas in daytime. They will feed actively during the day however if hungry or provisioning young. Shore-living individuals adapt to the rhythm of the tides. They mainly eat small fish, frogs and aquatic arthropods, but may take any invertebrate or vertebrate prey they can catch, including such animals like leeches and mice.

Beautiful image Kris,
Such a lovely bird and you have captured that beauty nicely. Very detailed with perfect exposure and colors.
Love the way you caught him with his crown slightly raised and the intent look on his face. Well done!! Good notes!

Hi Kris
very nice composition
well done.

Wow it looks tiny in comparison to the ones we have here, the White and little blue faced herons. Its always interesting to see other species. Great shot.
