    Green Heron / Butorides virescens

    : Early Jun observations in places like Beaver Dam Pond, the Schooner Head Road marshes, Northeast Creek and Seal Cove Pond may indicate breeding but could be late migrants. No confirmed breeding records.

    : Apr-early Jun and mid Sep-mid Oct with to late Oct.

    Miscellany: Green Herons are almost always solitary and inconspicuous. The very few Jul-early Sep records may represent birds dispersing after breeding elsewhere.
