Actually, it does! They just don't look like the Great Blue Heron you're probably thinking of.

Yep, that's a green heron.

so green ones are much smaller?
the only ones I've ever seen were big grey ones (blue, I guess), and white ones, and the brown and cream coloured ones we had in germany
all of them were way larger than this guy
even the google pics didn't look much like my mental pic of a heron
okay - I'm adjusting my mental pic now - thanks
learned something new . . .

Yes, it is a Green Heron and they are a great deal smaller than the other Herons. The green on the wings didn't show up much at all.

[drache]

is it just me, or did Stefan's first two pics on this thread disappear?

[Stefan-A]

Nope, I had them on a different server, deleted them to make space for other pics. Deleted most of them actually, not just the first few.

Here's some from Lake Waccamaw, NC.
Side of the road by a canal from the lake:

SWEET! If only I could walk up to gators in the wild.

SWEET! If only I could walk up to gators in the wild.

I've never had the opportunity to walk up to a Gator in the wild, as I've never been to The States.
But Crocs....

Good one, James.
