Butorides virescens
The green heron is a fairly small heron with a body length of about 17 inches. Adults have a glossy black/green cap, chestnut colored breast, and orange legs. The bill is long and pointed.
I most often find these birds perched in trees or hunting around the edges of wooded wetlands and ponds.
