Green Heron in Washington County

Common in Washington County in the Summer season

This is one of three "chicks" living in a spruce in my backyard. I posted two weeks ago when they were approximately 3 weeks old. This one came out to proudly display a great profile for me for over 5 minutes. Very unusual as they generally hide behind branches as best they can whenever they see me. I went back out a while later and they flew across the street into thick foliage. They may be gone for good. What a great experience!
