A wading bird, the Little Blue Herons can cover a lot of territory as they methodically wade around the swamp in search of food, pulling each leg fully out of the water for each careful step.
The swamp floor has greened up a lot in the last couple of weeks with a variety of plants poking through the water hiding all manor of tasty morsels.
On this day I only saw him pull up vegetation.

Lovely detail in these shots. Nice introduction to this attractive bird!
Thanks, Belinda. They are lovely and fun to watch as they plod along, sometimes lifting off for shot hops.
What a stunning bird,vibrant colour and great composition,love the images.
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed them. The Little Blue has an iridescence that makes a nice photograph when they are in the sun.
