Green Heron in the Mangroves - a photo on Flickriver

"Green Heron in the Mangroves" by Patti Deters. A small Green Heron (Butorides virescens) is seen perching on the roots of Mangrove trees along the Marsh Trail in Ten Thousand Islands NWR, Florida, just off the Tamiami Trail. Mangrove forests have interesting and intricate root system which create shelter and are a foraging haven for wading birds such as the Green Heron. This swampy wetland is protected area and is teaming with wildlife, lush vegetation, and brackish water - and a walk along the trail, also known as the Oil Pad Trail, will afford a view of some spectacular animals close up.
