Green Heron

Description:

Once again at dusk, I was treated to a peek at a surprise vistor at the little pond near work. This green heron was hiding in tall brush on the bank when my kids startled it. Like the night herons (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/243...) I spotted last week at this same pond, green herons are in this part of Georgia for the summer breeding season only.

Habitat:

Breeds in swampy thickets. Forages in swamps, along creeks and streams, in marshes, ponds, lake edges, and pastures.

Notes:

Spotted at a wooded detention/retention pond in an office building complex in Kennesaw, GA
