Field Notes

Description:

These pictures were taken at sundown, This green heron fledgling must be about 4 to 5 months. It has greenish legs and some down feathers too. It was preening itself and you can see some Down stuck on it's beak, It was aware of my presence,since it glanced in my direction,occasionally while preening itself.
