Sorry, but I'm getting a little behind with my posts. Between shooting every morning and drinking beer every evening, it's an exhausting schedule!!!
We were at Harn's Marsh in Lehigh Acres for these images. This is a flood control impoundment just east of Fort Myers. It wasn't the best time of day to shoot, but sometimes you just have to take it while you can get it!

I had no idea what this bird was until I looked it up. This is a young Blue Heron. They don't turn blue until their second year. Blues are pretty common down here, but it was the first time I had seen an immature bird.
Tri Color Heron
This is another first for us. What struck me about this bird is the size of the beak. It is the longest beak I have seen on a bird of this size. They are a little bit smaller that a GBH, but I think the beak is longer than a GBH!
Another Tri Color.....
One more for good measure.....
That's all we've got for today, but I'll have a smorgasbord of Reddish Egrets tomorrow!!!!
