They are found in a variety of wetland habitats, including lakes, rivers, ponds, and marshes. Green Herons are known for their stealthy hunting techniques, which involve standing motionless at the water's edge and then lunging at unsuspecting fish.

The call of the Green Heron is a loud, harsh "kyow" that can be heard throughout the breeding season. The call is often given in a series, and can be used to attract mates, defend territory, or communicate with other Green Herons.

Male and female Green Herons can be identified by a few key differences. Males are slightly larger than females, and have a more brilliant green back and chestnut neck. The legs of males are typically more orange than those of females, and their call is slightly higher-pitched. Females are slightly smaller, have a dull green back and buff neck, and their call is lower-pitched.
