The heron clan delivers once again! This young Great Blue Heron is a first year bird. Note that
there is still a lot of white in its plumage, and there are still some finer feathers in the rump area.
This bird is still gaining experience, and was very attracted to the buttonbush, playing with the fruit like a toy. This heron was eager to perform and seemed to enjoy being in front of a camera. It
even fell flat on its face in the water trying to grab a fish, but that was no deterrent.
The adult Great Blue Heron with the juvenile Little Blue Heron was a stroke of luck. Here you
are able to see the difference in size. The little blue is a relatively compact bird, 24 inches in length
and weighing about 3/4 of a pound.
The Little Blue Heron tried to get on that snag more than once, and was frightened away by a couple of adult Great Egrets. It managed to return, giving me this prize picture. Who could ask for
anything better?
HI! IS your photo of the Great Blue Heron with it's still white juvenile heron for sale? Love it!
ReplyDeleteThat is actually a young Little Blue Heron with a Great Blue Heron. I think I can conjure you up a copy. What size are you looking for?
