Green Honeycreeper - Dave & Dave's Nature Pavilion, La Virgen, Costa Rica
Bird Species (# 257) that I photographed and placed on my Flickr Photostream. Overall goal is 1000.
Green Herons are common and widespread, but they can be hard to see at first. Whereas larger herons tend to stand prominently in open parts of wetlands, Green Herons tend to be at the edges, in shallow water, or concealed in vegetation. From a distance, the Green Heron is a dark, stocky bird hunched on slender yellow legs at the water’s edge, often hidden behind a tangle of leaves. Seen up close, it is a striking bird with a velvet-green back, rich chestnut body, and a dark cap often raised into a short crest. These small herons crouch patiently to surprise fish with a snatch of their daggerlike bill. They sometimes lure in fish using small items such as twigs or insects as bait.

Bla Bheinn with a green finger of foreground interest. It was taken on the same day that I took the Cuillin picture with the house in front of it. A cracking day, light wise. This shot is only posible to get when the tide is high or you get the seaweed covered shoreline.

Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
A pair of King Parrots came for a visit to a holiday house we were staying in. The female, closest to camera, is mostly green, while the male in the background has a fabulous red front and head. Happy Gorgeous Green Thursday!
A shot taken in 2012 and I thought I would re-edit it. BTW, the green background is natural, they are green shrubs totally wiped out due to the DOF.
Groene specht - European green woodpecker (Picus viridis)
According to Wikipedia also known as the yaffle and sometimes called a nickle.
I photographed this Green Honeycreeper (Chlorophanes spiza) at Entreaguas Reserva Natural, near Coello in Ibagué, Tolima, Colombia. It lives in the tropical New World from southern Mexico south to Brazil, and on Trinidad. It is mainly a canopy bird but comes lower at forest edges, and it feeds on fruit with smaller amounts of nectar and arthropods. Its flight feathers are dusky with green edges. The female builds the nest, a shallow cup of dead leaves, fungal strands and rootlets. IUCN lists it as Least Concern. It is one of the honeycreepers in the tanager family.
I photographed him with a Canon R5 and the RF 800mm f/11, at 1/500 sec, f/11, ISO 6400. Entreaguas, in the Coello–Cocora area of Ibagué, offers ecological walks and birdwatching tours.

One of two green herons chasing each other around Mill Pond last weekend. Each trying to look the more dominant with a raised crest to look big and bad.

Green iguanas are an invasive species. Their normal range is from Brazil to Mexico. Due to the pet trade they have spread throughout Florida, Texas, and Hawaii. Growing to about 5 feet long they can undermine sidewalks and foundations with their burrowing. I saw more of them than ever on our recent visit to Florida. They do make an interesting photo subject, however, with their wildly patterned scales and colors.
