[Tweeters] re: Green Heron/Least Bittern

[Marc Hoffman]

Hi Marian,

I'm sending you (offlist) screenshots of a number of photos I've 
taken of Green Herons. It would appear that many have light-colored 
bills, and interestingly those individuals have very sparse 
top-knots. I would speculate they're juveniles.
