A Little Blue & Snowy

Osprey Whisperer

Couple of my neighborhood buds...sitting around in my backyard. :huh

"pass me a beer buddy"



Juvy Little Blue (incorrectly ID'd as a snowy originally. Thanks H).

Hey Mike,

Good shots, what music were you playing for them. The only thing is that they are both little blue herons. The snowy has an all black bill and the juvenile little blue (who is all white) has a grey bill with a black tip. Also the juvenile little blue has greenish legs while the snowy has black legs with bright yellow feet.

This is good because a juvenile little blue is a harder catch than the rather common snowy.

Shame on me for not looking more closely. I've seen so many snowys....that I just automatically assumed (sheme on me) that's what it was. I didn't notice the coloration of the beak and legs. Thanks for pointing that out..and making me look colorblind. :uhoh (it is pretty obvious after relooking)


**thinks about inserting a snowy picture to cover his butt**

Don't worry Mike, its not you. I told you that your Canon couldn't handle "blues".

Osprey Whisperer

It handles blue just fine....and at about 1/3 the price of that D2Hs.


Few more from that day of the juvy little blue. (lazy arse PP effort of auto level and smart sharpen :uhoh )

Thanks Pineapple Pizza Man. I thought that birdy looked a little dirty. Based on his little dance....I'd say he was a little flirty.
