The little Green Heron, smallest of the North American herons, is among my favorite birds. The prismatic greens, the deep rust color, the striped breast, the yellow feet and eye…it is altogether a great bird. And it has lots of attitude! It is not a humorous bird…always very intent and serious…but you have to admire its intensity. This individual was feeding along the channel beside the Blackpoint Wildlife Drive at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge in Titusville, Florida last week when I was there for the Space Coast Birding and Nature Festival. As well as the bird here, I like the foliage and the reflections in the water.
