[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Little Blue Heron (Egretta caerulea)

This is bird is a rarity here in Arizona, but I was able to take a good look at him in San Diego, California.

Note:

White Little Blue Herons often mingle with Snowy Egrets. The Snowy Egret tolerates their presence more than Little Blue Herons in adult plumage. These young birds actually catch more fish when in the presence of the Snowy Egret and also gain a measure of protection from predators when they mix into flocks of white herons. It is plausible that this is because of these advantages, they remain white for their first year

Hi Everton,

You are like my youngest son - always traveling, rarely home. I love the position this Blue Heron is in. I'm trying to figure out what he has in his beak. Beautiful colors and fine details of his face, beak, eye, and feathers. You must have been close to get this great shot.
