I'm no expert at identifying bird species, but I was told that it is a juvenile Little Blue Heron. Those very young are completely white, but as they get older their feathers change/morph into the blue color of the adult. This one is in that latter stage. ( An internet search on the LBH backs this up.)
Thank you, Ralph!Great shot! Love the green background
I hear that they are expanding their presence in Florida, which is a shame because they'll become a competetor to a native at some point, if they aren't already. I really wanted to get some more shots of them, but it just didn't work out.
It was a good trip, Ira. I believe that I was a bit late to catch the best bird action. So I'm already looking into another trip next year, and will likely try to get further south on the east coast. Maybe even down your way, but I definitely want to make it to Wakodahatchee for at least one morning and one afternoon shooting session. Then I'd like to visit the Great Cypress area for a couple of days followed by possibly two days at Fort DeSoto. I'm still working out the possibilities between current commitments at home and work. Since the gates of Fort Desoto open so late, I may rent or borrow a small camper so that I can actually stay within the park to get the best light. Then again, if I go early enough in the year, sunrise will be later and Imight not need to.
