Birds and Nature

I didn't see a Little Blue Heron on South Padre Island when I was there a few days ago or other potential locations I have birde around the LRGV where there have been a few sightings in several locations this month. Then yesterday when I found 2 of the them in drainage ditches surrounded by native scrub habitat. The only time I usually get to see these handsome birds is during my trips to the Lower Rio Grande Valley during the winter. SeEtta

Though clearly not blue, this is a Little Blue Heron. Immature Little Blue Heron's have white feathers with bluish gray ends on their primaries. And they have the distinctive greenish legs amd feet (evident in these pics) to grayish legs and feet. SeEtta
