Of native species, the subject birds clearly resemble Green Herons most closely, so it is also nice to see at a glance the other members of the genus Butorides.And don't worry, I will be getting back to sleep soon.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />  I frequently post when I wake up in the middle of the night, since it helps me get back to sleep.Best,Jim</blockquote>
