    I realize this could look like an image with artificial lightning during capture or post processing. Neither is true, completely natural light. However, as I took this image sun was behind me and rain was starting from the opposite direction. Lucky draw except for the extent I got wet ...

    It seems to me that this bird shown even less tail than usual, probably due to molt. I never got completely convinces whether there was a second bird up in the trees.

    From a distance Green Herons look all dark. In better light they are deep green on the back with a rich chestnut breast and neck. The wings are dark gray. Juveniles are browner, with pale streaking on the neck and spots on the wings.

    This one was small - even for a green heron. It was completely unafraid and preened as I talked and whistled to it. It allowed 20+ pictures and was still standing there as I paddled away. (There are some real advantages of birding on a kayak!)
