(12) fairly open growth. The often chose a bushel from separate clumps. Searching such clumps is the most profitable means of hunting as the birds are very quiet about the nest and one pair can not be told from the next. The birds make some noise at a distance but when about the nest are quiet and make no demonstration. I speak of pairs -- I can only say males rightly as there is no evidence of the females caring anything about the nests. Coll. by: [illegible] P.S. many males had bare patches on the breast. None of the females were apparently sitting. All the birds seem to love young or eggs, al tho a few are seen in flock -- notably common are young white birds of last year among their flocks. Name: Central Am. Green Heron. Date: Aug 1, 1925 Incob: Slight- Identity: Bird flushed, several specimens taken.
