Juvenile Green Heron walking through the Water Hyacinth
Nikon D850 & Tamron 150-600 @1/100 - f7.1 - ISO800 @ 600mm
I had originally said that this was a American Bittern and Robin pointed out that it was a juvenile Green Heron. I think Robin is right, I'm embarrassed, Sorry.

Hi Irap Nice image. Was the bird reasonably small? Might it be a juvenile Green Heron?🤔🦸‍♂️

Hi Robin, It wasn't that small, but I think you might be right, it looks like a juvenile Green Heron.

Posting wonderful images like these means never having to say you're sorry. 😉
You know the old saying - a rose by any other name........

Very nicely done, Ira, on all of them.

Thanks Rassie, you made me feel so much better, I was thinking of selling all of my equipment, but now I'll probably buy some more. You should get a job working for Nikon. 😍

Wonderful pictures Ira! Also thanks for showing the differences between these beautifull birds; it looks like that we don't have here so much variety..

Thanks Jaap, I'm very lucky to live in South Florida, we have many different species of birds and animals here and good weather throughout the year.
