Green Heron
The Green Heron (Butorides virescens) is a small heron of North and Central America. It was long considered conspecific with its sister species the striated heron (Butorides striata), and together they were called "green-backed heron". Birds of the nominate subspecies (no matter which taxonomic arrangement is preferred) are extremely rare vagrants to Western Europe; individuals from the Pacific coast of North America may similarly stray as far as Hawaii.
