Description
An amazing thing happened in June 2014. A clutch of green herons (Butorides virescens) was hatched somewhere near my home and they decided to hang around my back yard after fledging. At first, I thought they were two parents and a chick. But then a friend pointed out that they all had juvenile markings and traits. After that, I felt a bit maternal towards "my" young herons. This is an image of one of them in the ornamental plum tree.
