Green Heron, hunting

I spotted this Green Heron walking just behind the vegetation in the marsh below the South Padre Island Convention Center boardwalk on yesterday. They either move slowly or just stand in place until they rapidly thrust their bills at some prey. Though they are a pretty chestnut below and green or blue above with orange legs they blend in well with their habitat. The pic below is a 4 X view (220mm) of the bird above that was taken at 25X (600mm) view then cropped to this very close up view. SeEtta
