Green Heron
Relative to other herons, Green Herons are short and stocky. Its neck is often drawn in. Its coloring often looks dark, but in good light the adults display a deep green back and crown. Juveniles are browner. It crouches and waits then springs its head forward to grab small fish and frogs with its dagger-like bill.
