A lone Tri-colored heron and three male mallards are all walking in the same direction along the grassy bank of a pond.
Apparently, there is something interesting on the left that I'm not privy to. (Mallard drakes and a Tri-colored heron) #photography #birdphotography #birds #wetlands #nature #wildlife #wadingbirds #herons #tricoloredheron #floridabirds #floridawildlife #ducks #mallardduck #dabblingduck

Photo by Kort Duce A great blue heron fishes amid rippled reflections that evoke a Claude Monet painting. In this horizontal color photograph, the heron stands in the water slightly left of center. The surface mirrors a fishing pier, though its form dissolves into abstract patterns in the ripples. The scene takes on a painterly quality, reminiscent of Monet's signature style.

Photo by Kort Duce A great blue heron peers inquisitively while perched on a log at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, the heron fills the frame in right profile, with part of its legs and feet cropped out. Its neck curves into a graceful “S,” and the two head plumes lift upward in unison. Wind ruffles its plumage backward as it tilts its head slightly upward, its eye fixed with intense awareness on its surroundings. The background is softly blurred, showing rippled water, the opposite shoreline, and green trees with a faint, shimmering fence line.

Photo by Kort Duce A great blue heron flies low across a pond in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal color photograph, the heron fills the frame in right profile, its wings flared and feathers splayed in all directions as it moves through the air. The background is a textured surface of rippled water.

A close-up of a Bare-throated Tiger Heron with its long, sharp beak pointed upward. The bird features a distinctive yellow patch on its throat, a gray head, and fine black-and-tan horizontal barring on its neck feathers. It is set against a background of lush green leaves.

This image captures a Yellow-crowned Night Heron standing in profile on a cluster of light-colored, jagged rocks at the edge of a body of water. The bird is the focal point, characterized by its slate-gray body feathers with dark, elongated streaks along its back and wings. Its head features a distinctive black crown and "mask" accented by a bold white cheek patch and a yellowish-white forehead. Long, thin white plumes extend back from the crown, caught in a slight breeze. The composition utilizes a vertical orientation, placing the heron slightly off-center to the right. The background consists of dark, reflective water in the upper right and a bank of dried, tan reeds and marsh grass to the left. A few blurred, dark branches in the foreground provide a sense of depth, framing the bird within its natural habitat. The lighting is bright and directional, casting soft shadows that define the texture of the heron’s plumage and the rugged surface of the rocks.
I was just walking by Ash Creek. Taking a few pictures of the river. Then, something flickered, I saw the heron camouflaged by the brown reeds. I’ve never even seen a Yellow Crowned Night Heron! He was so still.

Photo by Kort Duce A great blue heron preens in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, the heron perches on a log in right-side profile. Its neck is extended and its head tilted, allowing its beak to reach its chest plumage. The head feathers lift and curl in unison, echoing one another above its crown. The background is softly blurred vegetation from the opposite shore, with hints of beige, green, and earthy tones, along with a strip of rocky shoreline and water along the bottom of the frame. The scene feels serene and quietly beautiful.

Photo by Kort Duce A great blue heron stealthily glides through the water in pursuit of a fish in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal color photograph, the heron and its reflection fill the frame as it wades through body-deep water, glowing a brilliant blue from the sky above. Seen in left profile, the bird leans forward with its neck lowered close to the surface, fully focused as it zeroes in on its prey—an image that feels both intense and beautifully serene.

Photo by Kort Duce A great blue heron preens in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, the heron fills the frame in right-side profile. Its beak is slightly open, and its neck curves into an elegant “S” shape as both its body and head plumage ripple in gusts of wind. The head feathers move in unison, echoing one another. The background is softly blurred vegetation from the opposite shore, with hints of beige, green, and earthy tones.

A bluish-green bird with a chestnut chest is seated on a branch at a Great Blue Heron rookery near Elizabethtown in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. This is a Green Heron (although it doesn’t look very green to me). Apparently, these birds are fairly common outside the Adirondack Park, according to data from the New York State Breeding Bird Atlas III. But we rarely see them here in the Adirondacks; there was only one confirmed breeding pair sighted during the five-year period of the atlas. Green Herons are said to sometimes nest near Great Blue Heron colonies, which is what this bird was doing.
For the alt #BirdOfTheDay theme #RareEncounters, I offer this #GreenHeron, seen for the first and only time at a Great Blue Heron rookery. wildadirondacks.org/adirondack-b...
