A juvenile Little Blue Heron struck a pose in a dead tree snag just off the pond.
He’s mottled, rather like the sky behind him. Little Blues turn from solid white to blue gradually between one and two years old.

I love that mottled look–very distinctive and eye-catching.

They are quite handsome as they mature, Mike, and actually easier to photograph than when they are all blue.
