Description
The Green Heron is a small, stocky heron found in North and Central America. These striking looking birds sport a velvet green back, rich chestnut body, a dark, sometimes crested cap, slender yellow legs and a dark bill with a sharp point. The Green Heron is sometimes observed using tools such as insects, earthworms, twigs, feathers, etc. to lure in fish. They are one of the world's few species to use lures to bait their prey.
I'm usually frustrated in my attempts to photograph Green Herons since they fly off quickly when they notice any movement. This one actually posed for me for over half an hour and didn't appear to mind my presence.
Photographed with a Canon 7D at Silver Lake Park in Port Dover, Ontario.
