Lousy pictures, great bird. This green heron was sitting on the deck rail when I came home from work. I crept around the kitchen to grab the closest camera, in hopes of taking a photo or two before he took flight. It was cloudy and late in the day. I was hand-holding the camera and shooting through the glass in the back door. Under the circumstances, I had no expectations of the photos, but they remind me of seeing the bird so unexpectedly, and of all the things I love about living where we do.

Wow, I’d never expect a Green Heron on our deck like that. I think our most unusual deck bird was a Yellow-throated Warbler.
Great you were able to get some pics.
Wow Wren, what a great surprise! We had a Great Blue Heron surprise at our pond once but never a Green Heron! They are such awesome birds and one of my faves. You did well to get off as many shots as you did before it took flight.
What a beautiful visitor you just had.
What a terrific shot! I would love to meet one of those in my back yard!! Thanks for sharing the fun!! Hope you have a great week with lots more beautiful visitors!

…that is so cool. I’d probably faint if I came home to a Green Heron on my deck!!
Ooh, what a yard bird! Well done on getting pics!
Wren: Love the capture of the Green Heron, they have been so nice to me this year.
looks who’s waiting for you at your doorstep!
What a great looking bird! You managed to get up close too.
That’s so cool to have a heron visit your deck. You captured the moment so well. I like shots like this where you get to see a wonderful surprise.
WOW!! What a TREAT!!
I love those little herons. Did he leave a poke of shite on your deck railing?
More than one! But it’s a small price to pay for a close encounter of the avian kind.
what a neat home visitor to have. fantastic
