Tricky Green Heron
This little guy was tricky to pin down as he flew from one side of the park to the other, as soon as he saw us coming. It pays to be patient and stay in one place for awhile because to our surprise he came back to the very same tree and we were able to bag a pretty nice shot.
Green herons are one of the few species of animal known to use tools. In particular, they commonly use bread crusts, insects, or other items as bait. The bait is dropped onto the surface of a body of water in order to lure fish. When a fish takes the bait, the green heron will then grab and eat the fish.
