Green Heron Photos

Photography by Terry Sohl

My Favorite: Green Herons are a species I see relatively frequently, probably as much as I see their bigger cousins like the Great Blue Heron.  However, despite all of those sightings, I really don't have a huge number of photos. My favorite photo is from May 21st, 2020 at the Outdoor Campus in Sioux Falls.
