green heron

Flying heavily over from the meadows with folded neck and dangling legs came a little green heron—the "poke."

To me, who had hitherto seen the green heron in the wildest of places, this tameness was an astonishing sight.

The green heron (Butorides virescens) dwells in colonies at times, and frequently in solitary pairs along creeks and ponds.

Another bird that is unprotected by our law makers is the green heron (Butorides virescens).

I remarked that it was much like the cry of the little green heron.
