Tricolored Heron

Tricolored heron, Egretta tricolor, wading bird in breeding plumage, Florida.

This beautiful wading bird, the Tricolored heron, is probably my favorite of the wading birds found so frequently in the warm climes of Florida. The bird undergoes a major change in appearance as they go into breeding plumage, usually in April/May. The blue lores on the beak, the red eye, and the vibrantly colored feathers give the bird a captivating appearance. Tricolored Her on, St. Augustine, Florida. (Egretta tricolor).
