I watched this green heron hunt in Stewart Park, Ithaca, NY. Sketched in coffee shops using Polychromos colored pencils on Stonehenge paper mounted to aluminum (Legion Paper). Moments after this pose it caught a catfish. Green herons are one of the smallest herons in North America. #birds #sciart

Realistic colored pencil drawing of a green heron perched low on bare branches, body stretched forward with its beak aimed down as if about to strike prey.
