Tricolored Herons

A few different Tricolored Heron photographs that had been uploaded but never published. Rather than have several articles here is a random grouping of a favorite critter.

The first set was a quick series of shots when the Heron surprised me by deciding to suddenly leave. We had been watching him for a while, he was actually walking slowly away back into tall reeds.

While the same marshlands, Merritt Island, the heron below is a different bird.

Last here, from Orlando Wetlands, a Tricolor on the hunt. It looks like whatever he was stalking was not worth the effort.

A group photo, with the Stilt the main subject of course.

The tidal pool below had Blue-winged Teals and Glossy Ibis sharing space with the Stilits.

A Reddish Egret

Getting a good close photograph of a Reddish is hard to come by. The bird below was moving around, as they do, but came back around to me a few times. Sooner or later I had to get something.

We were able to get a few flight shots also. As always there was plenty of glare, it’s a salt marsh. Yet at a few spot things worked out.

Being so close to the Florida shore we can make short trips often. Well, at least until the heat gets bad. Summer we stay close to home so the a/c is never far away. Living in the south does have a few less than perfect days.
