We spotted two Tricolored Herons along one of the canals at Bear Island WMA last week. They appear to be juveniles, not quite sure of themselves.

The one in the image above and this next one both made movements like they were about to fly, but there they stood.

On our return twenty minutes later one had flown to a water control trunk where he had a good view of the water below.

He had his eye on me as I passed by.
