Description

This Little Blue Heron is hunting in the shallow waters of the marshes of St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge in northwest Florida.

This small bird - small by heron standards, that is - is often inconspicuous in water settings because of his coloring, which one source described as moody blues and purples. He blends in with the colors of the water and does not present the statuesque silhouette of the Great Blue Heron which frequents the same habitats.

This image was captured in the warm afternoon light in mid January, 2018.

During the winter months, this national park, which borders on the Gulf of Mexico, south of Tallahassee, is home to year long residents, like this Little Blue Heron, and also a multitude of migratory birds which are welcome visitors to the refuge and add to the already wonderful diversity of wildlife which delights nature lovers and birdwatchers throughout the year.
