Butorides virescens
Green Heron
Lives near marshy waters, these shots were taken along the waters edge at Canoe Creek State Park . Because his plumage is blue he is easily mistaken as the Great Blue Heron.
It was very interesting sitting in a canoe watching him hunt, he crept very slowly and went in for the kill of a poor dragon fly.
