Description
"Wrap Around Fish" by Debbie Oppermann. The juvenile Green Heron is a dark, stocky bird hunched on slender orange/yellow legs usually at the water’s edge, often hidden behind a tangle of leaves, except in this image where it has just landed on a dead tree stump with it's freshly caught fish that is wrapped around it's beak. The bright orange legs are the color in breeding season.Seen up close, it is a striking bird with a velvet-green back, rich chestnut body, and a dark cap often raised into a short crest. These small herons crouch patiently to surprise fish with a snatch of their daggerlike bill.
