Why it matters
The green heron is a fascinating example of tool-using behavior in birds, as individuals have been observed dropping insects or bread onto the water’s surface to bait fish. Recognizable by its compact, hunched posture and broad wings, this species is frequently found stalking prey along the edges of sheltered waterways.
