Here are a few more Tricolored Heron images from last month when I saw so many.

This one wasn’t having much luck with his fishing but made nice water ripples and I liked the intersection of his beak with the reeds.

The patient standing pose is common among the bigger herons and I often see the Great Blue Heron standing out in the open like this. The Tricolored Herons don’t seem to do it as often, tending to stick to the pond edges.
