I live in a Naples community with lots of wildlife. Each morning I post photographs of wildlife (usually birds) on a Facebook private group page for members of our community. Sometimes I get a bit pedantic, but I have learned that many residents don't know what they are seeing. Here is today's post.
"Another heron lesson. In front, an adult little blue heron with its overall blue-gray body, yellow eyes and dull grayish bill and legs. Behind is an adult tricolored heron with the same blue-gray body coloration except for a white belly and a white stripe up its neck, orange eyes and yellow legs and bill."

Wonderful Heron portraits. Our Blue Herons are still here, but may be gone soon as our weather cools.
Always good to educate people.
Yes, a bit pedantic is good with me, especially as I have never ever seen a little blue heron. I think should look up their range. (TX here, but I've seen them all over the place, though never spent time in FLA.)
Anyway, thanks, and nice to see one next to a great blue.
Surprise, surprise. They are present along the TX gulf coast. Hm.
I have a great fondness for herons.
