Green Heron (Butorides virescens)
This young Green Heron is taking a stab and learning how to hunt on his own. It was a swing and a miss on this attempt, but he did eventually snag a couple small fish. This caught the attention of a nearby Snowy Egret who promptly came over and took his perch. I wish my coworkers would do that to me when I start eating too many chips!
Happy Friday all!
