This was the second Tricolored I found moving through the thick reeds this day.
In these photographs the bird had stepped out of the dark hiding places to fish at the edges.
Judging by the coloring of the legs this is a young bird just reaching adulthood. It would be nice if they came back to nesting in the swamp just down the road.
Beautiful!
Thank you. Tricolored are just so darn photogenic. 😂
