 Green Heron
   Butorides striatus


Status

Common

 S

Green Herons are common throughout the summer months. Upwards of four adult pairs were reliably relocated throughout the summer of 2008. These skittish birds prefer to stay around water, and have been seen foraging around the perimeter of every body of water on campus. One pair was observed nesting in the small woodlot between the Furman Golf Course pond and the course management area. In 2009, the first Green Heron arrived on 4/17.
