11. Green-Backed Heron ________________________________________________

"They ... sit ... on trees hanging over rivers, in a lonely
manner, waiting for their prey: which is Frogs, Crabs, and other
small Fish."
- Mark Catesby

Several years ago, after one of the hurricanes, there was a fair
amount of water standing on the lot behind the house ... had one
of these guys camped out there for a week or so until things dried
out.

A good-looking bird with a distinctive silhouette.
