This photo was taken during breeding season as denoted by the bill. Normally yellow the Tricolored Heron’s bill turns blue during the breeding season.
The tricolored heron hunts in shallow swamps, lagoons and bayous for fish, amphibians, insects, and crustaceans.
effect use of bokeh to bring the figure forward…the heron seems ill at ease, they are very alert birds.
Beautiful!
