The Green Heron is a small, stocky wading bird with a distinctive dark greenish-blue plumage on its back and wings. It has a chestnut-colored neck and a white throat, with a long, sharp bill and yellow legs. Green Herons are known for their stealthy hunting behavior, often seen standing perfectly still at the water's edge waiting to ambush prey with a quick strike of their bill. They can be found in a variety of wetland habitats, including marshes, swamps, and ponds, where they feed on fish, amphibians, and insects.
