Geocache Description:


If this is your first time finding a Letterbox Hybrid geocache, bring a stamp that is meaningful to you. For example, I always have a corn-on-the-cob stamp with me when I am finding Letterbox Hybrid geocaches as I am MamaCobb. You will also need to bring a notebook with you to stamp using the stamp in the cache. I prefer pocket notebooks as they are easier to carry when geocaching.

*** Note: This cache is too small for an ink pad, so bring your own ink pad ***

A relatively small, dark, compact, crested wading bird, the Green Heron is a common species of wetland thickets throughout much of North America. Although shy and retiring, it is a familiar sight to those spending time out of doors. Careful observers can see it stalking slowly through the water, perched quietly atop a branch, or as a dark form flying with slow wingbeats through the gathering dusk. Its flight call, an assertive skeow, is a sound typifying temperate and tropical wetlands of the Americas. Some of this bird's behaviors are especially well appreciated; flying away from human disturbance, for example, it often produces a scolding squawk and a stream of white defecation, giving it such vernacular monikers as "fly-up-the-creek," "shite-polk," and "chalk-line."
