But something was definitely different about its plumage. Seeing that it was actively hunting and operating like an otherwise normal Green Heron , I opted to photograph it, research it and possibly return and continue observing the bird. But certainly not impossible! I revisited my oiled theory.

Further research revealed the Bird Hybrids blog ( [link] ) has several revealing photographs of this (and many other) hybrids. Charles Darwin was most concerned when he discovered that hybrids between Greylag and Swan Geese were completely fertile, as his early definition of a species was that one species did not interbreed with another.

There really is no clear definition. When I explained that to some of my new coworkers, one responded with, “By your definition, I’m an ornithologist, but you know way more about birds than I do.” Another challenge to bird research is that it is woefully underfunded and relies heavily on citizen science.
