Green (Butorides virescens)

Well, not looking all that green here, but I got another picture of one that really does deserve the name. I'll share that one later. Btw, when I googled the Latin name, I noticed that the common name in Norwegian means Green-backed Heron. Too bad we don't have them here where their name actually fits ;)
