D80 Sigma50-500@500mm ISO800 F6.3 SS1/1600 Tri/Pod mounted
Another of Many Tri-Colored Herons in High Breeding Color. Although it may look like a Little Blue the give aways are The White Tuft of feathers on the head and at the base of the neck along w/the CRAZY RED EYES. They are also a bit bigger than the Little Blues and not as Colorful or as large as the Great Blue.
I'm not a BIRDER It's just that I'm a bit obsessed about knowing WHAT I'VE CAPTURED .
Thanks to Sabrina Ryan for Helping me select this version.
