A juvenile Little Blue Heron poked along the edge of a pond in between some Cypress knees looking for a meal.
He quickly swallowed a couple of small finds.
After a bit he flew up onto a bridge railing and showed off his mottled blue coloration. Sometime in their second year the Little Blues become fully blue.
They are very delicate looking. Too bad they don’t come up this far north. Fine shots!
I just looked at their range map and indeed you are out of luck. You would really like them, Belinda.
