I have been trying to get pictures of a green heron (Butorides virescens) for quite some time. These guys are on the lakes all around me, but the combination of having a camera and spotting this bird never seemed to click for me. But of all places, I was at the zoo with my two grandsons when I spotted this green heron on the gibbon monkey island. The heron was getting an easy meal of goldfish and koi from the man-made stream that went around the island. And obviously, this time I had my camera. Speaking of fishing, these birds will use bait to catch their prey such as a worm, seeds, crumbs of bread, or anything else that will attract a fish to within striking distance.
