Birds of Kentucky: Green Heron on Petty's Fork



2010-12-20 - Photo by Old Coddger. Adair County, KYGreat Blue Herons are seen more often, but they aren't the only herons here. They all are entertaining, but this Green Heron seems to have a special appeal. Old Coddger posted this photo two and one-half years ago. The caption then said he had been watching this little fellow on the banks of Petty's Fork Creek, just over one mile from the Square in Columbia, KY, for a couple of weeks now. After days of patiently watching, "He finally cooperated with me, just before sundown." That was Friday evening, June 22, 2007. Even after the heron became aware of the photographer, it continued its search for dinner, and allowed him to take 48 shots. Getting ready for the Great Backyard Bird County February, 18-21, 2011, is already underway. To see the CM gallery of some 35 Heron photos, Click to CM Birds of KY: Heron links
