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

ReplyDelete;)
These shots are just fun to look at.

ReplyDeleteWhat 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!
ReplyDeleteRe your comment about the horse in the yard: I think you're right - it is one spoiled horse!
Fantastic images of a beautiful bird.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos - very interesting to see such "birdy" activity.
ReplyDeleteOh bow legged heron. So funny. You really got some neat pictures.
ReplyDeleteRegarding 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

ReplyDeleteHe does have a funny "do" . Great captures of the Green Heron!
ReplyDeleteYou have caught his comical nature. These photos are brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI am jealous. I have taken a photo like the last one, but the first three are very much different from anything I have seen.
ReplyDeleteIt is a comical bird I think. They seem totally different to blue herons.
ReplyDeleteI love his punk hairdo.
ReplyDeletegreat photos of this heron; fabulous
ReplyDeleteouch, almost felt sorry for it. Actually made me wonder how much nerves goes down their feet.
ReplyDeletegreat shots--that one of his back side and knobby knees is kind of comical.
ReplyDeleteI think you have caught the character of this little heron very well, great shots.
ReplyDeleteGordon.

You certainly caught him in a few awkward positions! These are great.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, EG!
ReplyDeleteLorelei 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?"
ReplyDeleteShe is already a bird lover.
