Standing Tall

We went on a butterfly walk yesterday with a group. It was lead by a real expert on nature from Miami County Park District. Near the end of the hike I totally missed this Green Heron but it was spotted by soneone in the group. Luck for me, he stayed in the same place long enough for me to get a decent photo. This is the 1st one we have seen this year.

A Quick Exit

There was two Green Herons but I was slow .. so one chilling on a wire, and one flying away .. a quick exit.

Just before we saw this pair, I was telling Teresa that I had not seen a green heron yet this year .. and then I see them.

The Green Hornet .. I mean Heron

This was a surprise. I was driving through Garbry Big Woods Reserve when I spotted this Green Heron. To took off so I stopped the car to see if I could find him for a photograph. Lucky for me, he didn't go far.

Needed: A Haircut

I guess even this Green Heron needs a hair cut but can’t get one during the lockdown.

Teresa took this photo this past week. It has been a while since we saw one of these. He was diving in the water .. a behavior that I have not seen before. Now to get him a trim.
