A Tricolored Heron, photographed at a wildlife management area.

These mid-sized Herons have been out in large numbers the last month. I have also seen more than the usual number juveniles around.

This adult had found a dry mound of reeds and stayed right there.

Above he was giving me the ‘look’. But him remained on his little hill.
It’s been a big year for the Tri-Colored. Love to photograph these colorful birds.
They seem to be everywhere around ACE.
