Green Heron
Uploaded: August 21, 2016 | Entered: August 21, 2016 05:03:44
The Green Heron is one of the few tool-using birds. It commonly drops bait onto the surface of the water and grabs the small fish that are attracted.
The Green Heron is part of a complex of small herons that sometimes are considered one species. When lumped, they are called Green-backed Heron. When split, they are the Green Heron, the Striated Heron, and the Galapagos Heron.
They tend to wander after the breeding season is over. Most probably seek more favorable foraging areas and do not travel far. Occasionally some turn up in England and France.
A group of herons has many collective nouns, including a "battery", "hedge", "pose", "rookery", and "scattering" of herons."
