Nice shot! This is actually not a great blue heron, it’s an adult tricolored heron in its non-breeding plumage :-)
kathy s gillen... replied
ok question, the tri color has a blue beak and reddish legs, the great blue has more of a yellow beak and legs, does that mean this one will also change beak and leg colors as well ? :) thanks so much

Love the posture of the bird, great reflection, you have great timing! Dee

Ryan Schain
It’s not just old enough for its legs to change from yellow to red and beak to change color :-). This is most definitely a tricolored heron. Great blue herons don’t have yellow legs, have a distinctive dark blue cap (in juveniles and adults), and have much longer legs.
kathy s gillen... replied
ok thanks
