I love the Herons and the Egrets. I see a lot of Little Blues, and others but not a lot of the Green Heron. They are such a interesting bird. Lovely shot thank you for sharing.

Thank you! Yeah I see mostly Great Blues and Great Egrets, and then Green Herons. Rarely a Black Capped Night Heron, and thats it. Dont ever see little Blues here.

If you ever can get to Florida you will see many great birds. I have added 25 to 30 birds to my life list and I am always amazed at what I see down here.
