of my plot, was a darkish, crow sized blob of a bird. . . . I put my
binoculars upon the thing to find that it had a rich chestnut colored
throat, green back, a long stout bill, and long slender legs. Features
most unbecoming of a crow. This left the poor boy pondering and I soon
began to suspect that my crow was not a crow but in fact my third heron of
the day, a Green Heron. Go figure."

A couple of years ago, I was visiting people in Corpus Christi, TX, and
was amazed to find a Green Heron in a large tree in their back yard, in
the middle of a residential neighborhood, far from any water. Go figure.
