Revisit the first Green Heron Sightings.

At first I did no realize that this bird had a long neck, and was in fact a small Heron family member.

Suddenly the long neck appeared. Realized today the face an beak look something like one of the muppets.

These pictures are presented in smaller size and reduced resolution and marked
with my site name. I sell them as pictures and as four - fold blank - on - the - inside cards.
I hope you can still enjoy them, and feel as if you are experiencing this day, all the same. Paul.

Hide and sneak with the small prey.

They sort of look like they are doing a Groucho Marx imitation as they hunt, in slow motion.

Found this today in my original files from that day. Had skipped it, and now I find I really like it.

These are the best two pictures I have of that hidden long neck snapping out to pick up prey.
Go back and look at the picture before and see if you can figure out where they keep all that neck.

All these pictures are presented for your enjoyment. Not all have been printed as cards. They can be, by request.

Above is just a work up of how they fly.
Second sighting.
Surprisingly, it is not easy to get pictures such as these, as the Green Heron is kind of skittish.

Again with the Groucho Marx.

09922429d
The Green Heron is starting to get flustered, finally realizing I am there.

09922431rnm01
Put this picture along side of one of me when I first wake up and you might think we are related.

09922434
A little more flustered, he fluffs up his top knot, and struts, finally stretched out his neck, and shakes, and flies off.

09922441rnm01
Look back through the above pictures, if you wish, and realize just how much neck had been smoothly hidden by this bird as he becomes smaller to hunt.
