Green Heron, August 22, 2018

ABC Wednesday, Wild Bird Wednesday, and Wednesday Around The World
G is for Green Heron

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, July 21, 2018
Green Herons, Butorides virescens, are small Herons that may be seen wading in shallow water in search of small fish. They often keep their long necks folded down close to their bodies, but when prey is spotted, they extend their necks and strike with lightening speed. They get their name from the greenish feathers on their back and crown.

Have a great day!
