A Little Blue Heron looking more like a Little Purple Heron in the bright sun. We are starting to see more Little Blues around but I haven’t spotted any nesting yet.

Lovely bird and pose!
Thanks! Very helpful that they will stand so still!
I love the ‘purple’ look! Very rich colour.
The color becomes more intense as breeding season approaches. The shade changes with the light, too, which makes it more interesting.
Quite unusual and really beautiful!
