Tricolor Heron minnow fishing - a photo on Flickriver

            This photo of a Tricolor Heron in her breeding plumage, fishing for her evening meal was taken at Wakodahatchee wetlands , Florida.

Tricolored Herons forage for small fish such as topminnows in  brackish wetlands. 

They are skilled at stalking, chasing, and standing-and-waiting to capture small fish. Their foraging style is generally more jittery and active than some other herons, chasing after fish with wings flapping or pirouetting with sharps stops and turns. Similar to Reddish Egrets, they also bend forward and push their wings over their head to entice fish to enter the shade provided by their wings. 

These birds was once known as the Louisiana Heron.
