The Tricolored Heron was another bird that we saw in Florida in January. Today's post includes several photos of this medium-sized heron, with a short video at the end of the post.
The photo above was taken from the video that appears at the end of the post.
Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice sunday Linda.
love the video. i love the last shot - plop into the water. ha. ha!! to great. ( :
ReplyDeleteyou're totally rubbing it in, now. another i've never seen in person. :) loved the video. they are such active hunters. unlike the great blue heron and great egret that stand so stoically, these run around and try to scare up their food. so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh my - you really beheld some beauty in these photos - I really like them all, but especially the one with the water drops all around him. The video was cool too.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get the video, not sure why. I like the 4th shot with a reflection and the bird so symmetrical.
ReplyDeleteI like your pictures. I don't really have time to watch videos as I like to keep going to comment on other bloggers. I am sure video it is nice though.
ReplyDeleteYou got some great pictures of this heron. I like the video as well.
ReplyDeleteAn elegant bird!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. I love some the water action in these pictures.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of this heron, Linda. I didn't know there were so many different herons. Love the video, too.
ReplyDeleteHi, We are home from a wonderful trip to Arkansas with friends. Photos tomorrow!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you have had a great week. Great photos of the heron, Linda... Such a beautiful bird.

Interesting bird. They confused me as a new birders for several years as they used to be called Louisiana Herons. There name change came about as they spread along the Gulf Coast and even north to the Carolinas along the Atlantic....:)
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! That water is so clear! I wonder what this bird is eating in the video? It looks like he is pecking at the silt...are there little clams under there?
ReplyDeleteI love the shot with the feet breaking the water, with the mirror image showing in the water too. You do such interesting work my friend!

Yay! You got video. That's exactly how the one I saw was fishing--kinda spastic. :) Love the shots with the water splashes.
ReplyDeleteI never realized how many different kinds of Heron's there are in Florida...each one you have captured in their full beauty.
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome boy. Great captures of this fishing pro!
