Post by: ravynne40 on September 14, 2010, 06:49:43 PM

I just wanted to share this one, its a first for me woohoo! finally a Green Heron. we also saw 3 Black Crowned night Herons but they were hiding in the trees sleeping
2 Great Blue herons, a couple of wood ducks. We never did make it out to the Hawk Watch :( My friend had to get home to feed his dog in Niagara)
we had a wonderful day!

Thanks Colin, the heron was not easy to see, it was hidden in the back of the fenced in area of the middle pond where all the murky/icky water was.

Hi Irene, nice pic.
There were lots of people at the hawk watch to record all the hawks but I can assure you no one left the hill with a picture of a green heron--no wonder you're excited & thanks for showing it to the rest of us.

Great find Irene.
This little Heron is always in that pond. I find him whenever I go. The problem is he normally takes off just after the sun rises and before there is enought light to  shoot. So I can never photograph him.
Lucky you to find him in the middle of the day.
Great shot!
