![]() ![]() ![]() Here's more information about these birds. Green herons are unique among avians because they are one of a few birds in the world known to use tools, according to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. They do this by creating lures from objects they find, such as feathers or bread crumbs, to catch fish. Green herons aren't as widely seen - or celebrated - as the stately great blue heron, but they are among the herons that populate the waterways of Illinois. These birds are common, although not as easily visible as some birds because of their mostly dark plumage and their preferred habitat. (Photo courtesy of Sandra Rust via Will County Wildlife)
