Little Blue Heron Photos

Little Blue Herons have very different plumages as juveniles than they do as adults. Juvenile birds are all-white in plumage, while adults acquire the dark, slate-blue plumage. Adult birds in breeding plumage start to get bluish-red feathers on their neck and heads. There are photos of all plumages of Little Blue Herons below.
