CLOSED: What Heron

Could this be a juvenile Blue Heron?

Thanks

Yep, Great Blue Heron

What gives us the clue the bird is a juvenile?

Well, realistically, they're still nestlings, not even juvenile yet ;-)

The wing and tail feathers are still only half-grown, so they can't fly yet. When they are old enough to fly, that's when they are considered to be juveniles, until they have their post-juvenile moult. Juveniles can be told from adults by their duller head pattern.

Thanks so much for the info you provide.
