GREEN HERON IN THE EVERGLADES


I remember being very happy to keep company with this Green Heron while he was fishing.  These photos were taken in the Everglades several years ago.

    Wow, your pictures are awesome!! I have seen Green Herons several times, and have snapped them. But none of my photos looked as fierce and colorful as these! Especially the first one.

      Thanks Ginny, I was lucky to be able to get these. He was very focused on his fishing and not taking any notice of me :)

    these are the best shots of a green heron I have ever seen, they are hard to get good photos, and these show all those details and colors

    We recall seeing green herons when we lived in VA and would take frequent trips to Chincoteage and the wildlife refuge. It is a beautiful bird and you captured it well, Denise.
