Little Blue Heron Checking The Sky

This Little Blue Heron has just a few remnants of his juvenile white feathers. By next year’s breeding season he’ll be a full adult and completely blue.

He seemed to have something to say, and I was expecting him to fly.

I have no idea what caught his eye, but he did not fly.

He did, however, give the sky a good look.

Little Blue Heron

A Little Blue Heron stood one-legged on a stump, at the end of an early December day.

The road we drove on was only a few feet from the bird and I expected him to fly any moment, but he seemed content.

The pond behind him was glowing from the low sun.

Little Blue Heron on the Hunt, 2

Almost three months later and in the same place as the photos for my post Little Blue Heron on the Hunt I spotted another, or the same, LBH.

Purple Iris dotted the scene.

Little Blue Heron Fishing

A Little Blue Heron was fishing in the last trickle of water left in the lagoon at Magnolia Cemetery Pond: Water Out

The orange/red reflections from the end of the autumn leaves made an interesting scene from what was basically mud.

The Heron didn’t have much luck, but was very persistant.
