Green Heron, Cuero y Salado Wildlife Refuge, Honduras

So, is a Green Heron in Honduras more exotic, more tropical, than a Green Heron in Maine? The Green Heron is my favorite North American Heron, so, of course, I am delighted to find it anywhere. This bird, standing on a floating log along the edge of the main channel at Cuero y Salado National Wildlife Refuge on the Caribbean coast of Honduras is certainly all a Green Heron can be. I saw several in Honduras, looking and acting just like the ones I had seen a week earlier in Florida, or a month later in San Diego. Always a treat…and always exotic and tropical as far as I am concerned!
