On Saturday I wrote in my post that I expected to hear Green Herons anytime in the next few days. The very next day, as I approached the pond, I heard “Skeeawwww.” A few minutes later, I actually saw the heron, but the light wasn’t great for photography. Nor was it in a photogenic spot.
This morning, I heard the Green Herons again, then found one on the shore of the pond. It put on quite a show.
Just as I started shooting, it darted its head into the water and came up with a small fish.
I like that its crest is slightly raised.
After swallowing the fish, it turned around and gave me a nice, coy posterior view.
Then, as it turned around a bit more, it stretched out its neck and raised its crest more fully.
A couple of minutes later, it flew over to a wooded portion of the pond.
Overall, a nice first encounter of the season with the Green Herons.

Wow!! Beautiful images of the green heron.
Didn’t see the green heron this weekend but enjoyed daily sightings of the great blue at the pond!
