Little Blue Heron
(Egretta caerulea) wades though the water in
the morning fog searching for fish, frogs and insects. A common
water bird, the heron is not on the endangered list. Usually
these small herons hunt in groups with other wading birds.

Snowy Egrets for protection. Little Blue Herons prefer shallow
water or standing on overhanging branches to feed.
