Tri colored Heron wading in wetlands

An elegant bird! I love the dangling white neck feathers and the delicately lifted foot.

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.
