A bluish-green bird with a chestnut chest is seated on a branch at a Great Blue Heron rookery near Elizabethtown in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. This is a Green Heron (although it doesn’t look very green to me). Apparently, these birds are fairly common outside the Adirondack Park, according to data from the New York State Breeding Bird Atlas III. But we rarely see them here in the Adirondacks; there was only one confirmed breeding pair sighted during the five-year period of the atlas. Green Herons are said to sometimes nest near Great Blue Heron colonies, which is what this bird was doing.
For the alt #BirdOfTheDay theme #RareEncounters, I offer this #GreenHeron, seen for the first and only time at a Great Blue Heron rookery. wildadirondacks.org/adirondack-b...

A close up of a green heron. This elegant bird has dark green feathers on its back, wings (where they’re laced with gold), and the top of its head. Its neck is rust and the throat is rust and white streaked. Its eye is yellow, and its long pointed beak is black with yellow on the bottom.
My #BestOfTheMonth is this #GreenHeron. I just love these guys, and this one let me come pretty close. #BirdOfTheDay #birds #WildlifePhotography #ECK
Rob's @robcrank68.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay theme is #OpenBeak, any bird with its beak open.
This #GreenHeron has an open beak and a little tongue for our viewing pleasure 🤷♂️😂. Good thing the birds don't get to pick what photos I post.

Green herons are always doing something interesting! I watched this one hop from limb to limb over the Stones River in Murfreesboro, Tn until it found a perfect hunting perch.
