    Green Back Heron?

    After I got this pix, I tried identifying it and think it is a green back heron, but I'd like that confirmed by one of the bird experts here. Thanks.

    I think it's a geen heron, too. But I suck at ID

    I've always called them "little green herons," but while looking it up, I learned that term is a broad one, covering two or three species.

    Adult green heron it is! :thumbsup:

    I have heard of little blue herons, but not little green herons.

    Nice photograph, Ron.

    I meant to say "little blue heron." Sorry.
    Is there a difference between a "green heron" and a "green back heron?" The id site I found seemed to say so and had two different looking birds under each name.

    This bird is called a "Green Heron", but in the older bird guides it was called "Little Green Heron"
