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.
(The cat with the most tales becomes next year's chairman.)

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.

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....
Just a few miles from the Las Vegas Strip is a place far more edifying and colorful, the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is home to magnificent geology, a wide array of flora and fauna, and accessible hiking at all levels.
female Calico pennant - at the wetlands, North Georgia
Only a handful of Calico's turn up at the wetlands every year. And so far I've seen one Halloween out there. Stay safe if you're in the path of the storms. Our heat wave continues ...
Happy Dragonfly Thursday!
I was wading into the sedge meadow to shoot Halloween's when I spotted this female Calico perching with them. So wispy in the wind but at least she perched on sturdier stems. at the wetlands, North Georgia - 2 days ago
This is Gracie Jo, the semi-feral cat we are trying to coax indoors. Today's forecast was for a "wintry mix", lots of wind, etc. At lunch time, Gracie Jo ran pretty quickly to the back door (before I could take her food up to her heated area in the workshop), so it seemed like a good time to try whisking her inside. I got her into the laundry room without her biting or scratching me. Just about that time the wind picked up and the rain turned to sleet & I think Gracie Jo must have been okay with being inside for a little while.
