Nice captures of the often elusive Green Heron, Ellen. I love these little guys and find that they have more personality than Great Blue Herons.
Thanks, Mike! They do tend to be tucked into the undergrowth; I was rather surprised to see this one away from the edge of the pond.
What funny head feathers.. hahaha!

That last shot is really good !
Thanks, I got a good look for a “butt-end” shot!
He’s so beautiful, lovely captures!
Thank you, Greta, they do have amazing colors!
