The Green Heron




Compared with most herons, Green Herons are short and stocky, with relatively short legs and thick necks that are often drawn up against their bodies. The Green Heron is one of the world’s few tool-using bird species. It creates fishing lures with insects, earthworms, twigs, feathers, and other objects, dropping them on the surface of the water to entice small fish. Photo by Darlene Lodahl
