Green Heron

(Butorides striatus)

Here is how my Audubon Society Field Guide describes this common heron: "A retiring bird, it is often first noticed when it flushes unexpectedly from the edge of water and flies off uttering its sharp call note".   If however one quietly and stealthily approaches this waterside forager, excellent photos can be the reward.

Please comment if you wish.
