Great Blue Heron
Preformative (first Fall) molt in the Great Blue Heron is protracted and often suspended during the winter resulting in peculiar plumage combinations. E. g. this one shows an adult crown pattern but also retained juvenile wing coverts with white spots on the feather tips. Largest of the North...- jmorlan

This bird was stationary on this spot a bit into the reed-bed for at least 1 hour. Much of the time was spent preening.- njlarsen

Great blue heron (juvenile) on patrol
Hello all, and happy Friday! We went out earlier this week in search of any critters that may have been about. We were in the middle of a bad heat wave (heat indices up to 103F), so understandably the pickings were slim. But after all day of hunting, on the way home at dusk we passed a juvenile...- Barbie Heid

the heron story 6 - I meant to do that! (... to be continued)
Then I caught the heron repeatedly dunking the rodent in the water, so definitely on purpose, but what purpose? To clean it? To drown it into submission? To kill it? To wash it? To make it more slippery and easier to swallow? Just for fun? To reposition it for swallowing? Again ... hard to say...- Doc Duck
