Green heron (Butorides virescens) scratching an itch
Watching a green heron can be hysterical. This one was particularly funny, but I didn't laugh out loud because I didn't want it to know I was spying on it.
Still scratching
This is a continuation of last week's post, which you can see HERE.
Crouching down looking for a fish
This is what a heron's rear end looks like when it's crouched down.
A more familiar angle for when it's crouched down
I am joining Stewart M's Wild Bird Wednesday HERE

i like the first two, they made me laugh and i love seeing the rusty colors in their feathers.
Great shots of this beautiful heron!
Now that's what you call a 'mohawk' haha! Excellent shots of the heron EG
they really do look quite crazed at times. :)
Hi Good to see it from all angles. Margaret it is a bit bow legged on one of the shots!! Margaret
That bird is a crack up. The Ichabod (sp?) Crane of birds.
;)
These shots are just fun to look at.
He is very comical!
I might have been laughing too hard to hold the camera steady. Great shots of him looking un-heron-like!
Terrific captures! He's really quite handsome!

I'm glad it didn't catch you watching, you might not have got all these brilliant pictures. From Findlay
Comical yes,but fantastic as well.
He looks funny doing his thing, great shots!
Great series!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Truly...picture post card perfect!!
What a riot! This guy reminds me of the old Roadrunner cartoons! What a character. Don't know how you refrained from breaking out in gales of laughter!
Re your comment about the horse in the yard: I think you're right - it is one spoiled horse!
Fantastic images of a beautiful bird.
Great photos - very interesting to see such "birdy" activity.
Oh bow legged heron. So funny. You really got some neat pictures.
Regarding your comment about the barn--The road might not even had been there when the barn was built or maybe just a narrow dirt road. MB
Zdjęcia czapli są i zabawne i świetne. Pozdrawiam.
Photos are herons and funny and great. Yours.
I love your bird pics!
I didn't know birds got itchy! Funny shots. :)
He does have a funny "do" . Great captures of the Green Heron!
You have caught his comical nature. These photos are brilliant!
I am jealous. I have taken a photo like the last one, but the first three are very much different from anything I have seen.
It is a comical bird I think. They seem totally different to blue herons.
I love his punk hairdo.
great photos of this heron; fabulous
ouch, almost felt sorry for it. Actually made me wonder how much nerves goes down their feet.
great shots--that one of his back side and knobby knees is kind of comical.
I think you have caught the character of this little heron very well, great shots.
Gordon.
Splendid shots - I like herons a great deal!
Cheers and thanks for the link to WBW - Stewart M - Melbourne
He looks so different when his crest is all feathered out!
Wow! Fantastic shots of the heron!
:)
You certainly caught him in a few awkward positions! These are great.
Wonderful photos, EG!
Lorelei would love these, too...well at least if they were the real thing. She is always telling me, "Mamaw, come here!" "What kind of bird is that?"
She is already a bird lover.
oh the third picture...OH OH OH LOL!!!
This is great! I love watching birds.
Fun shots of this beautiful bird.
I love this Heron.
