The remake of Peterson’s guide showed green Heron, because it was green Heron before it was green baked heron. I grew up with green Heron, so it’s nice for it to have gone back.

Thank you Sally! Yes, I go back to Green-backed Heron, but could not remember the name. Despite checking in old field guides and even the remake of Peterson’s original field guide showed Green Heron!
Green heron’s naming woes… I'm old enough to remember the green-backed heron’s name change. Given the brief small amount of green …. Woe with me! Perhaps the gray green-backed rufous necked heron. Multi colored heron?

Larry,
? We, the people in the field, don't get to choose the names for the
birds.? It's best to just
accept whatever name they have rather than lobby for a change ... ????
At least the name
of the Green Heron hasn't changed like the Marsh Hawk and some others
...? - Jim in Skagit

I didn?t get the sense that Larry was lobbying for a change, but that he
was having a bit of fun with physical descriptors.
I never did understand where ?green heron? came from!
