Green Herons nesting cycle, Than see the little Green Heron escape death!

When you see the Green Heron (Butorides Virescens) up close it has a velvet-green back and rich chestnut body. The dark cap is often raised into a short crest. The Green Heron hunts by wading in shallow water. Sometimes they dive for deep water-prey, then having to swim back to shore. The Green Heron has a unique ability among bird species. It uses insects, twigs, earthworms, feathers, and various other objects to create fishing lures that will attract fish that they will then snatch out of the water. And watch as the Green Heron fledgling escapes Death!
