little blue heron

Herons and egrets also come through, so keep your eyes peeled for green herons, little blue herons, great egrets and snowy egrets.

Great blue and little blue herons use the stand-and-wait method of hunting.

One of them, a yellow-crowned night heron, is nocturnal, while the other, a little blue heron, is active during the day.

Thousands of little blue herons, roseate spoonbills, snowy egrets, pelicans and other chattering birds were gone.

This weekend’s trip, the first of the summer, heads to the Hoffman and Swinburne Islands, where you can expect to see snowy egrets, little blue herons and many other species.
