Green Heron Range Map
The Green Heron breeds from southwestern British Columbia to northern California, southern Nevada and Utah, and north-central New Mexico, and from the western edge of the Great Plains States, southern Ontario and southern New Brunswick south to eastern Panama. After breeding, it disperses north to eastern Washington, Idaho and southern Canada. It winters from western Washington, coastal and southeastern California, southern Arizona, Texas and Louisiana, and northern Florida and South Carolina south to South America. The Green Heron is found in a wide variety of freshwater and saltwater habitats, primarily those in riparian deciduous zones. These habitats include wet woodlands, lakeshores, ponds, rivers, streams, swamps and marshes. The Green Heron commonly alights on trees, stumps or submerged debris, but roosts on or close to the ground.
