I’ve seen many Tri-colored Herons in my day but never have I seen one with a blue bill and that white tuft of feathers on the top of its head. Thanks for sharing it with us.
They sure gave us plenty of opportunities, didn’t they Mike? I agree- they are stunning birds.
postalwarbler, where in TX was this taken? I’m in Aransas Pass.
It was in the Rio Grande Valley, at one of the preserves. I can’t remember which one. We hit so many.
