Taken at the State Fish Hatchery in Hackettstown, New Jersey. I don't think any fish are being actively raised there right now, but still abundant wild fish and frogs that are supporting a large Green Heron population as well as several GBH's.  .. Dave

Yes, Green Herons do look particularly stocky. When they are curious or alarmed they occasionally do stretch their necks out though, and then you really seem their resemblance to the rest of the heron family. Dave

Thanks Steve, since the native ecology of New Jersey contains a lot of swamps and freshwater lakes, Green Herons are abundant and pretty widely distributed here. Dave
