There are lots of opportunities to see wildlife at Assateague Island in Maryland. Besides getting up close views of pelicans at sunrise via paddle board you can also go out on a kayak or paddle board for trips through the marshy areas on the bay. One of the many birds you can see is a green heron.
Green Herons like to hang out at the water’s edge to bring in fish or catch dragonflies. They are small in comparison to great blue herons.
This heron seemed to be quite successful at catching fish.
This one proudly paraded around in the grass with a little fish it caught. There are many things to see at Assateague while on the water. When you go to Assateague don’t ignore the bayside, you may miss out on a lot.

Have never seen green herons in this part of the world. I love watching herons stealth hunt. Have a good evening Sharon. Allan

I love watching them too. Most of the time they ignore you. Some I feel love to show off their catches. Have a good evening!

Nice shots. I always like seeing the Green Heron – I figure they are always around, but I tend to only spot them sparingly.

The best place to see them from is a kayak as they tend to be at the waters edge. They like marshy areas and ponds.

Thanks! They make it easy! They move slow until they snatch their prey.

We get them in New York too. Just finally seeing the numbers we saw last year on a lake. They seemed to arrive later this year.

It may not be the same as an eagle grabbing a fish out of a river or lake, but still nice pics of nature occurring.

I have seen an eagle flying with a fish, but have yet to see once catch a fish. Some day I hope. Fun seeing the green herons and great blue herons catch fish.
