I spent yesterday photographing birds at Merritt Isl NWR. I will post them, but first I have 2 ID questions. Is this an immature Great Blue Heron? I've never before seen such a brown (rust) neck. At first I thought it was an immature reddish heron, but the legs are the wrong color, and its larger than the tricolor herons.
