Description
Walking around Brick Pond Park in North Augusta, South Carolina early one morning with fellow photographers and friends in search of baby aligators I was lucky enough to snap this photo of a juvinile Green Heron scavaging along the bank.
From https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/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. They have broad, rounded wings and a long, daggerlike bill. They sometimes raise their crown feathers into a short crest.
From a distance Green Herons look all dark. In better light they are deep green on the back with a rich chestnut breast and neck. The wings are dark gray. Juveniles are browner, with pale streaking on the neck and spots on the wings.
