A juvenile Little Blue Heron molting into adulthood.
From Heron Conservation:
The juvenile Little Blue Heron is entirely white until into the second year. The bill is pale green blue at the base with the tip black. Iris is yellow to white. Lores are pale cobalt. Tips of the white flight feathers are dusky. Legs and feet green yellow to light grey.
Molt is complicated and probably individually variable but well described elsewhere. As white feathers are replaced by dark, the white plumage is followed by a “piebald” or “calico” intermediate stage.
That is the Atlantic Ocean as the backdrop - this heron was walking on some rocks hunting for something to eat.
Several "Local cats" live in the Takashima Suisaisen Park in Minatomirai, Yokohama. They live on the food of their neighbors.
They can't run away when they see people, but they can only be the ones who feed them.
They don't run away when they see strangers, but they aren't touched by anyone but the people who take care of them.
"Local cats" do not have a specific owner like "stray cats", but they differ from "stray cats" in that the local residents officially recognize them and take care of food and medical care.
(The cat with the most tales becomes next year's chairman.)

Mi Chulita Gurrumina es Cálico. Un gato cálico es un gato doméstico que tiene una coloración característica, el pelaje blanco muestra manchas marrón-anaranjado y negras.
Los gatos que presentan la característica cálico son casi siempre hembras. Aproximadamente sólo uno de cada 3000 tricolores será macho y sólo uno de cada 10.000 será un macho fértil.

I was leaning way out over a bank to capture an image of this spectacular dragonfly almost directly below me. This is a Calico Pennant, Celithemis elisa, a fairly common dragonfly found in the eastern half of the United States.
Maple Flats – Big Levels, Augusta County, Virginia. July 12, 2015.
A calico cat has a coat that is 25% to 75% white with large orange and black patches (or sometimes cream and grey patches). They are exclusively female except under rare genetic conditions. This one, named Patches, is a friend's cat napping in its basket by a sunny window just after eating a snack.
HMM- had literally dozens of possibilities
but this one made me smile :)
(this portion is approximately 2inches by 2 and 1/8th inches)

see the picture in the first comment box for the one i really wanted to use, but i hadn't measured so didn't feel i could
I spotted this pretty little girl, all decked out in a calico coat, in Stavanger, Norway. She ignored me, but I got a few photos anyway. She lives in a quaint and very beautiful town, filled with flowers and lovely homes....
