This one goes out to the Green Heron Cottage in Collinsville, CT where I had a great meal last night courtesy of its gracious proprietor. Green herons are smart little birds — one of the few species that effectively uses tools. They will often drop bread crusts, insects or whatever else they can find on the surface of the water to lure fish for an easy catch.

This is a great photo of a Least Bittern, not a Green Heron.
Thanks for the correction. I see it now.
Seconding Least Bittern. Still showing up in Green Heron search results – can title be edited?
