That's really interesting. I wonder if small birds recognize green herons
as possible Predators the way do hawks or owls. Bob O'Brien Carver Oregon

Can't say it was my best garden bird, but last year I saw a Green Heron
land on my bird feeder. I didn't think too much of it until it came back
the next day. It was then I realized it was there with the intent to catch
a small bird to eat. It didn't succeed, but it most certainly was in a
hunting posture and mode.

A few winters ago on a cold January day I was looking at the feeders in
the backyard when an immature goshawk landed on the feeder pole and stayed
long enough for me to see the important field marks.
