[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The herons are wading birds in the Ardeidae family. Some are called egrets or bitterns instead of herons. Within the family, all members of the genera Botaurus and Ixobrychus are referred to as bitterns, and—including the Zigzag Heron or Zigzag Bittern—are a monophyletic group within the Ardeidae. However, egrets are not a biologically distinct group from the herons, and tend to be named differently because they are mainly white or have decorative plumes.

Lovely composition. Well exposed, good amount of detail on this white bird. Colors are very nice... is it really green like that at the base of the beak?... how unusual. Well done, TFS .. Mish

Hello Thanh,
Lovely image of this very white Heron. It looks wonderful against the very blue sky. Very nice.
Cheers,
Debbie
