In this week's #NatureToGo, let's meet a summertime resident of Minnesota's waters: the green heron! These birds sport an iridescent coat of feathers, giving them their namesake. Watch as naturalist Teresa Root explains how green herons use clever tricks to catch their aquatic prey. Next time you're near a pond, spy the shoreline to spot these short, beautiful birds!
