Green Heron On The Run
It happened so quick, a female Green Heron flushed out of the mangroves and flew a short distance to reland.
The male decided he would just run along the embankment in pursuit!

Oops!Ā So sorry, Mr. Heron!Ā He gave me a nod and continued on with his pursuit!

Gorgeous green heron!
Thank you, Liz!
Brilliant photos, Donna.š
Thank you, Imorgana! Glad he wasn’t too mad with me! š
Great pictures of one of my favorite birds. I am still waiting for the return of the pair of green herons to our cove on the Chesapeake. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Susan! They should be arriving soon! š
They are gorgeous. Wonderful images, Donna!
Thank you, Deborah!
You’re welcome, Donna!
Very Nice Donna! One of my favorite birds to watch & photograph! Seems like they have too much coffee in the morning!š
Thank you, Reed! So they can be ready for whatever!! š
I like the way he can smooth his ‘hair’ down, even without a comb!
Pretty cool trick!! š
Great shots. They give you just enough time to grab a shot… and you did šš
Thank you, Ted! Luck on my side this time! š
Nice series, Donna, especially with the crown up! The colors you captured are gorgeous.
Thank you, Ellen! I love these little herons and have never seen so many prior until this past winter in Florida. They always caught my attention for hopefully a photo. š
Super shots, Donna!!
Photographers are such spoilsports š
Thank you, Indira! š š
Great photos! I hope he won her over! š
Thank you, I hope so too! He was off and running again! š
Nice photos. Green herons (and for some reason not the other hersons so much) always remind me of roadrunners, especially when their crest is up.
Thank you, David! I can see that, with the Green Heron being smaller and more compact. š
Great captures. šš
Thank you, Irene! š
What does he know? When he saw you, the excitement should have started! š
Your captures are wonderful! š
Thank you, HJ! š
A literal example of being crestfallen! Great pictures.
Spot on, Tom! š Thank you!
Your Green Heron has a lot of character Donna! Great shots. Our Striated Herons do not allow us to get close enough for good shots like yours.
Thank you, Ashley! At home around the Chesapeake Bay, our Green Herons don’t allow us near them either. But in Florida, oh my goodness, with the remote areas & dirt roads that I went to away from tourists, they were always around. I just had to be quick enough! š
Handsome suitor. Wonderful photos, Donna!
Thank you, Belinda! š
Love the story there. This is one of my favorite birds. Nice pics! š
Thank you, Lisa! Fun stuff! š
Yes it is. Birds are fun!
Yet more amazing captures. I’ve only seen the briefest glimpses of this amazing bird. Thanks for a closer look!
Thank you, Gunta, my pleasure! š
