never seen a green one like this. anyone know what the deal is?
It's a " Spring is in the air " thing that the males do.
It's kinda like flaunting a hot car or a puffy wallet.
Green fins = chick magnet.
I love the way they look. Just missed one last year myself.
Pretty uncommon up here, or at least hard to spot.
If you catch a male on its nest, you may get more than one shot since they are so protective.
