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.

Juvenile Little Blue Heron
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.
