Featherwork

This Green Heron (Butorides virescens) was busy with some essential grooming when I spotted it perched atop a long, tall hedge row separating a parking area from the beach on Tybee Island in Savannah, Georgia.t it atop a long, tall hedge row separating a parking area from the beach on Tybee Island at Savannah, Geogia.

Green Heron #3

So, "where is the green?"

It's in the wing pattern, a sort of sheen (but not glossy like an ibis).

Here's the best image I have, sharp, close-up, and in decent lighting. Posted to Flickr, where I have a large album of "Birds" and "Nature", plus travel collections.

Green Heron

It took me a long time to "see the green" here, as it's not glaring, like a blue heron.
It's in the wing sheen, in the right light.
Like this.

ZOMG! I have photos of a green heron from that trip. I didn't think I had any of this species, at all.

For some reason (no judgement, I love it) birding folks here on the fedi have an odd *obsession* with them. I'm glad to be able to contribute. No crop, no adjustments. No time for that silliness.

Morning Mist at Carnegie Lake Dam

Before sunrise at Carnegie Lake Dam, fog softens the world and familiar birds emerge from the mist.
