Green Heron

[RVT1K]

Not much action in this one but another new-to-me bird.
It looked to be hunting but it simply flew away without diving for anything.

Nice catch! We have those around here, but they are scarce. They usually wade in the shallows eating invertebrates, frogs, and small fish.

Hopefully I'll catch it grabbing something one day.
Kinda funny how you have no idea how long the neck is from the first shot.

Nice shot. They don't dive often; they usually wade and sometimes they drop insects from a perch onto the water to lure fish. They're very clever birds.

Thanks for the tip!
Now I won't waste any time waiting for that to happen.
I'm having fun seeing new birds and trying to figure out what they are.

Awesome birds. I usually hear their cry as they fly away from me, so I am very envious of your shots
