These two young Great Blue Herons have not yet fledged but that does not keep them from singing loudly as they await mom's return to the nest.
The large yellow-orange bill of the great blue heron looks similar to a pelican’s on a close up as this one. Interestingly, the great blue heron is more gray than blue, but go figure.
Thank you very much for your views, comments and faves.

Thank you to all who fave or comment on my photos it is much appreciated.
I had never seen one of these beautiful birds until we visited Palm Beach, Florida. I understand they are becoming more common to the area though they are native to southern Asia. They were first noted in Florida in the 1990s and believed to have escaped from captivity after Hurricane Andrew in 1992.
I waited for some time for this Iguana to climb up the bush I was standing next to but it was worth the wait. Just a shame about the shadows.

With a twist and a flourish! And a real teenage haircut!
The tricolored heron (Egretta tricolor) is a small species of heron that's native to coastal parts of the Americas. Tricolored heron's breed in swamps and coastal habitats. It nests in colonies, often with other herons, usually on platforms of sticks in trees or shrubs. In each clutch, 3–7 eggs are typically laid.
Adults have a blue-grey head, neck, back and upperwings, with a white line along the neck. The belly is white. In breeding plumage, they have long blue filamentous plumes on the head and neck, and buff ones on the back. The tricolored heron stalks its prey in shallow or deeper water, often running as it does so. It eats fish, crustaceans, reptiles, and insects.

Tricolor herons are in breeding plumage, and along with that comes a spike in aggression (dating?). This was taken at Wakodahatchee Wetlands in Delray Beach, Florida earlier today.
