Green Herons and Their Groovy Necks

Ever notice a green heron in your presence?
They are found over much of the North American continent. Go near a creek, pond, lake, or estuary, and you have likely see the enigmatic little avians.
They make a “chook!” sound that will certainly grab your attention.
Today’s FamilyFirst pick is called Green Herons and Their Groovy Necks. Pretty obvious what the site’s author finds fascinating, isn’t it?


Green herons look like they have NO neck, until they reach for something and a surprisingly long version suddenly appears, putting the bird’s beak within instant proximity of a hapless fis or such.
There are lots of photos for your pleasure, and much knowledge being shared about the funky little fishing bird that is an instant charmer.
Keep on the lookout for green herons the next time you are near a body of water. And prepare to be entertained.
