Field Notes

Notes:

This small heron was hanging around the ponds at a resort. Probably attracted to an easy meal with the small fish in the ponds.

Thanks Ashley, I'm sure you'll see plenty more of these green herons. From all your postings today it looks like you had a great day of spotting!

Beautiful! I've only ever seen one of these guys, but hopefully I get to see more this summer. They are such neat little guys :)
