Not really a Blue Heron, and not Great but aspiring to be better. I sometimes advocate for #birds, #wildlife & #habitats.
This Is My GlasgowAnother day, another heron, this time in Victoria Park in Glasgow, and in full breeding plumage.

People who were around in the 1960s might get the above jingle. This is a green heron (Butorides virescens). I don't recall ever seeing one before, I know I haven't photographed one until now. It isn't the greatest photo because it was way of to the west and starting to fly away from me by the time, I acquired the bird.
"From a distance, the Green Heron is a dark, stocky bird hunched on slender yellow legs at the water’s edge, often hidden behind a tangle of leaves. Seen up close, it is a striking bird with a velvet-green back, rich chestnut body, and a dark cap often raised into a short crest. These small herons crouch patiently to surprise fish with a snatch of their daggerlike bill. They sometimes lure in fish using small items such as twigs or insects as bait." - allaboutbirds.org

It's getting so a bird can't even get a breath of fresh air!
Fires in Canada are causing smoke and haze in New York City. It's pretty bad when the Parks people tell New Yorkers to stay indoors as much as possible--but what about the birds and other wildlife?
Stop staring at me.
This American goldfinch (Spinus tristis) appears to look directly and the camera. She is probably eyeing the feeders below. I took this photograph just before spring came along. One good thing about winter is that the birds are easier to see.
"Goldfinches move south in winter following a pattern that seems to coincide with regions where the minimum January temperature is no colder than 0 degrees Fahrenheit on average." - allabutbirds.org

Deb OppermannA roadside pond in rural Guelph #Ontario Canada was the choice of this Great Blue Heron's perfect place to grab a snack. It wasn't long in stalking mode before it captured a good size catfish and then moved to the far side of the pond to enjoy the fish in privacy.

Teach Honest HistoryIn my imagination, I think this great blue heron is trying to slink away quietly after doing something naughty. Yes I have a vivid imagination. Sterling, Virginia, USA 4/24/2023 #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography #heron
