Little Blue Heron (Egretta caerulea)

Another bird I have in question. You can say it's a Snowy Egret but its legs aren't black and his beak isn't all black. Laugh maybe it's a Juvenile Egret for laughing out loud. One thing is for certain I love the setting here and the bird a course. When Hugo hit here many years ago in 1989 it damaged a lot of trees. I think that is what we have here some mangled old trees. 1989 where has all the time gone?

I would assume it is a youngster that has not come in to full color yet. A great capture Daniel!
 
I fully agree, Daniel, even without a bird, the setting alone would make a great photo, so with this lovely egret or heron it's a real little gem, congratulations, many tfs!!!
