Speak Softly
Juvenile Little Blue Heron, Egretta caerulea, carrying a big stick. Little Blues are born white, gaining safety by associating with more numerous Snowy Herons and Cattle Egrets. This one is in the first stages of the change to deep blue (with some red tints). Can’t imagine why this bird carries that stick.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
