Green Heron (Butorides virescens)
A small, stocky heron that is one of the few birds known to use bait, dropping insects or twigs on the water to lure fish.
Sharing the bank are two red-eared sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans), a widespread pond turtle named for the red stripe behind each eye.
The green heron ranges widely across the Americas and is a common sight along wooded ponds and slow water year-round in warmer regions.
