Small bird, serious hunter 👀
Green Herons are known for staying perfectly still along the water’s edge before striking quickly at fish, frogs, and other small prey.
They’re also one of the few bird species known to use bait, sometimes dropping small objects onto the water to attract fish closer.
Definitely one of the coolest little locals to keep an eye out for around Marco Island! 🏝️
