<p> The Green Heron is a small heron found in North America and northern South America. It is a subspecies of the Green-backed Heron <i>Butorides striata</i>. They are found in wetlands in low-lying areas. They sometimes can be hard to spot because they like to hide in vegetation along the shoreline. While there is a hint of green on their back, they are more noticeable because of the rust colored neck. </p> <p> Green Herons are one of the few tool using birds. They drop insects and other small objects on the water to attract fish. </p>
