That is a glorious shot !!

Thank you very much, Pam. This bird is wearing its prettiest feathers of the year.

The white ones look like egrets too.
A lovely shot!

Thanks, Andy. The white ones are cattle egrets, and are the most numerous species here. They nest here over water, but feed on land, often among cattle.

WOW, such a fantastic portrait of this young blue heron !!! *****************

Thanks, Marie-claire. This is actually an adult little blue heron. We also have great blue herons (Ardea herodias) here which are much larger and do not nest in this cluster of trees.

Un portrait animalier de belle qualité ! bravo.

Merci beaucoup, Jocelyne.

Superb shot of this Little Blue in his breeding plumage .. all fluffed up !

Thank you very much, Peggy. I think maybe it shook itself just before I took the photo. Best wishes.

An excellent photo of a very beautiful baby bird. Thank you for sharing this!

No baby birds here, micritter. This is an adult in its finest breeding plumage. Thanks for the visit.

Georgeous!

Thank you very much, Tractacus. Glad to have you visit my gallery.
