Green heron

One color you seldom see on a Green Heron is green. There’s a chestnut neck and breast, yellow legs (orange during breeding season), blackish crown and blue-gray wings. But in just the right light, they show off a hint of green on their back and outer wings.  This one was photographed at Tuscawilla Park.
