The Green Heron is a beautiful bird that lives in so many different places at so many different times, we can't list them all! You can find its range in the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's description of it. Anyway, the Green Heron lives near water and hunts in water. They hunt in shallow water, where they are covered by plants that grow on the bank of the marsh where they are hunting. The Green Heron will stand still until it sees a fish, when it will lunge its head into the water and grab or spear the fish with or on its bill. As we mentioned above, you can find a range map showing the Green Heron's range at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's description of it: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Green_Heron/id Here are some Green Heron photos: A big thank you goes to www.arkive.org for putting some of their wonderful photos of the Green Heron on Creative Commons for us to use them! Anyway, if you have observed a Green Heron in the wild, please submit your observation below! You may submit your observations until May 11 at 12:00am.
