Tricolored Heron

This is one of my favorite birds.  They hunt similarly to a reddish egret but can also stand perfectly still while waiting to ambush their prey.  This photo was taken in the Esmeralda Marsh in Lake County, FL.

    This egret appears to be getting serious about fishing.  Taken on the commercial docks in Cortez, FL.
  • Cormorants
    This photo always reminds me of Gilligan's Island.
