Hello,
The Green Heron is one of my favorite herons, I am always happy to see one during my walks and outings.
The Green Heron is a small heron, with a green-black cap, greenish back and wings and a chestnut neck.
Their bill is dark and long with a sharp point.
These are photos taken at the Circle B Bar Reserve in Florida, but I do see this bird in Maryland during the summer months. I hope you enjoyed my photos.
Thank you for stopping by and as always I appreciate your comments.
My list of memes for today, I hope to see you there. Thanks to both of the host below.

It is certainly a cutie! YAM xx
Beautiful photos, Eileen. Have a very nice week.
...cute little fellow.
Very nice looking bird - I have a very similar one for WBW in a couple of weeks.

Oh, he is such a beauty!! We see them occasionally here and I am always struck by their gorgeous plumage. Hope you have a wonderful week!!
Good day Eileen, he is lovely. I do so enjoy learning about different birds and animals. It makes it so much more exciting if I ever see one and I know just what it is. It's like finding a treasure that you don't get to keep. Hmm, if that makes any sense. Ha! Enjoy your day.
We have the green herons here too, and they are my favourite herons as well. You got some beautiful photos of him, and you can really see his green colour in the feathers on his back. Have a great day :)

That Green Heron is gorgeous . Beautiful captures .
I've only seen the Blue Heron out on the cranberry bogs here .
I must check and see if Green Heron are only native to certain areas .
Hello,
The Green Heron is so beautiful, and very pretty photos!
Happy Monday, and enjoy your week ahead!
Do you know Eileen I think that is a gorgious little bird, I've always called it The Little Green Heron. I remember filming and photographing one down at the Palm visitor centre down in the everglades.
Take care, and thank you, Gordon.
This is a beautiful bird and not one that I usually see here.
A beautiful heron, and I like the cedar waxwing on your sidebar too. I love seeing the photos of birds I never see around here. Have a pleasant day.
Oh, I think they are gorgeous, too. I have only seen one or two around here, and that has been ages ago.
These are marvelous Eileen!
Marvelous photos of thie fabulous bird. Stunning !
Best, Synnöve
I would NOT want to be on the business end of that beak!
i wanna see a heron like this in our kayaking trip. i need to schedule that? wonder how? love those colors. ( ;
Fantastic images of the Green Heron, well done Eileen.
What beautiful blend of feather colors he has. He looked very intent on hunting his food,
I found a Picasa download, Eileen--saved for another few years--whew! I really like Picasa's format and don't know why Google thought Google photos was better, It is not as user friendly for editing. Thanks for your help!
Gorgeous captures of this magnificent bird, Eileen! Thank you so much for sharing, and I hope you have a glorious week ahead!
The Green Heron is so beautiful.. great shots.. Congrats..
They have such beautiful coloration! Great photos as always! We don't see these very often on our walks. Hugs!
We see them here too and the always thrilling to spot!
Wow, that's really amazing! I hope I could see one someday.
You got some brilliant photos of this beautiful bird Eileen. He truly is stunning. Great shots!
Lovely bird! I've seen these in our backyard pond before. Nice photos!
I too love the green heron Eileen...and, excellent photos....as always.
PS...the vehicle ferries at Port A ARE small, 'cause they only have to cross the ship channel. They don't go out in the bay or large bodies of water. Only about a couple of minutes to cross either way.
Beautiful coloring on the heron. Great captures.
You really found a good model. Great pictures.
Your first photo has so much character.
Wow - you got really close. Lovely images!
Heisann, lovely birds, you have so many kinds, they are unknown to me... Have nice days ;:OD)
Wonderful. Awesome pics.
Beautiful creature. We have a great blue heron living here on our farm in Virginia. We enjoy seeing it fly lazily by in the mornings, on the way to our pond.
Well Hello There Green Heron!
beautiful bird!
They're cool birds
WoW!!! These images are stunning!! His little suit so perfectly outlined, the light, capturing his eye...these are just awesome, a real pleasure to view!!
Gosh what a beauty!
I hope you will come share your photos at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2017/06/tidying-up-nest.html. The linkup is open all week, every week. Photographers welcome!
If they migrate this far north in summer, they tend to stick to the countryside. Here in the city we do see the blue herons in rivers or the canal.
Your green Heron is quite unique, Eileen. He has odd feathers, and yellowish looking eyes. He almost looks like a little grouch, but very striking. I had a visit by two yellow-crowned night Herons last week, and did get some pictures. One of them got scared and flew away, but the other one enjoyed my attention. I hope to write a post soon and share some photos! I was so excited! Have a great day, Eileen!
He's beautiful..love the coloring..great shots!!
Super, super pictures Eileen. It's a long time since I saw one and I'm ready for another.
The heron is a stunning bird, great photos....

Nice shots of the Green Heron, he has such a neat look. I'm hoping to photograph one soon on Kentucky Lake. Happy Tuesday!
Very nice !
Look at that beautiful bird !
Happy midsummerdays from Anne-Mari
Hello Eileen, I'm thinking this is a special heron as well. For me they are all a fine creature, not that I know their true name, but they are amazing.
Wonderful Green Heron photos! Love them!
Lovely capture on the green herons… and they have a look of Indian pond heron :)
Hi Eileen, love when you do a heron post. They are one of my favourite birds. Lovely photos.
Take care.
Robin
For sure I always enjoy your photos, dear Eileen. It's the details that you get which are so amazing, just look at his beady little eye!

Fantastic photos.
great shots of the green heron. :) I have seen it twice on travels. :)
Belle proximité avec l'oiseau ;-)

Eileen you have wonderful captures of him! :) I love to come here and see birds that I was not aware of until you showed them on your blog.
They are beautiful. I especially love their eyes.
Beautiful and interesting colorful birds, indeed! These are not native, in here. I think i said that previous, but it is always a delight to observe and admire such cute birds. Especially to see them from so close.
Many thanks, Eileen! And a lovely day and nice weekend, too! Alexa
Wow !!!! Great to see this green heron.
In the Netherlands we do not have a green heron unfortunately, but I really like him to see!
My compliments for these beautiful pics of the green heron.
Greetings, Helma
Doesn't this bird have wonderful colourings.
They always seem to look so alert too!
All the best Jan
Reading backwards and went from Washington state to Florida!! Knew it as soon as I saw the spanish moss : -))!!
