Juvenile Green Heron

Posted by Barbara (Florida, United States) on 6 July 2009 in Animal & Insect.

This young Green Heron sat perched on a branch while it's mother was on a nearby lily pad catching the next meal. Some down feather still appear.
Taylor Park, Largo, Florida.

Thanks to Ronnie's comment I realized I titled this bird incorrectly. I know it as a Green Heron but my initial title was Juvenile Night Heron. They do have a distinctly different marking and coloring.
Thanks again, Ronnie.

I have actually posted an image before of a Juvenile Green Heron and titled it appropriately.
