Nice photos everyone .... Yesterday, I visited a pond that had a family of Little Blue Herons. It included one adult and five youngsters. I stayed there for about an hour and everyone that stopped by said "look at those Egrets". I find the color difference between the adult and young quite fascinating. It's hard to believe that a bird as white as the immature Little Blue Heron could turn into the mostly blue adult.

Here is a photo taken at some distance of the adult on the left and the immature Little Blue Heron on the right. A Great Blue Heron is behind the white immature Little Blue Heron.
