Tricorlored Herons are much more energetic than most of the herons and egrets I see. They zoom along, with short flights and bursts of running as they search for food.
This pair, a juvenile on the left and adult on the right, were very entertaining as the took turns chasing each other back and forth in front of me.
I don’t think I saw either one catch a fish while this was going on. There was a nice breeze which kept the mosquitoes away but interfered with getting a nice reflection.
Awesome heron photos! I tried for hours yesterday and couldn’t get close enough for a good shot!☀️
Thanks, Lana! It is a lot of fun when they are close and putting on a show. Thanks for stopping by.
Very nice Ellen. I like the detail of the water, a nice trade off for no reflections.
Thanks, Belinda! I thought they might be a little over done, glad that you liked them.
Wow, so lovely photos Ellen!
Thanks, Greta! The Tricolors are very entertaining as they go about their day.
