Digiscoped photo from distance of 800+ yards in significant heat shimmer, producing an image that barely counts as a “documentation shot.” Heron pictured stalking in front of the heavily-brushed blind in the water at Avocet Point.
Observasjonsdetaljer
Juvenile. Medium-sized heron about half the height of a Great Blue, with a very slender profile. Bluish-purple color on back, rusty red on flanks and side of neck, and distinctive white stripe from throat down to belly. Stalking slowly low to the water, working on the edge of a grassy mudflat near Avocet Point and seen in direct size comparison to Great Blue Herons and Great Egrets. Fed back and forth in this area during the 45 minutes of observation after discovering this bird around 9:20am.
