I wonder why it’s called a ‘green’ heron. Nice pic, tho.

That is a good question, Reason, because of its "Sister group".
"Adults have a glossy, greenish-black cap, a greenish back and wings that are grey-black grading into green or blue, a chestnut neck with a white line down the front, grey underparts and short yellow legs."
Yes it is a very lovely picture of this bird, thank you!

This coloring is much more like the Green Heron's that I've seen in the wild

perhaps the OP's was a young one

He is not green cause he’s a rebel. Great photo.

Another amazing capture of the beautiful things we see right here in The Villages and during a pandemic too.

I thank you Ronnie Clark for every time I have been uplifted by your diligent and artistic photographs that I frequently try to emulate with my paint and brushes.

It is truly lower Paradise where we live.

The green heron is a really beautiful bird. Thank you for sharing. I have never seen one before. The sister bird though has such an interesting combination of plumage. Thank you!
