A solitary Little Blue Heron foraging on an overcast day. While the Juveniles are white this adult displays a beautiful purple-blue plumage distinct to this species. With their dark plumage these birds are a bit more difficult to notice foraging around the waters edge.
Herons and all wading birds are fascinating to watch. Once I was in a wooded area by a creek, and all of a sudden a Great Blue Heron flew out – missing my head by inches with his wing tips. It was amazing.

HI, those types of encounters are so memorable. Herons are indeed amazing birds especially great blues. Those wings and legs are just so big.
Wishing you a wonderful holiday season.
