Green Herons Galore and Spectacular Sunsets

Although the focus of the Wrightsville Beach Bird Stewards is the nesting colonies of local shorebirds, there are lots of other surprises to enjoy.

One evening I observed over a dozen green herons flying around at the end of the parking lot. They seemed to be everywhere!

The trees seemed to be filled with a convention of green herons.
