At first I had thought that this was a juvenile Great Blue but I noticed the dark bill and different behavior. The Green heron is much smaller than the Great Blue Heron. Bothe Herons feed on basically the same food ( Fish , bugs and frogs). However the Green heron uses tools to catch it's prey. It will stand motionless as the Great Blue does, but it uses lures to attract small fish like bread crumbs, worms, twigs and even feathers. Usually found in North, Central and northern parts of Sout America this bird has occasionally found it's way to the shores of England and France in search of food.
