Little Blue Heron hunting fish at Fort Desoto in Florida


Notes

First seen at Lettuce Lake in Florida hunting fish. A small blue heron with beautiful blue and purple plumage. Smaller than its larger cousin the Great Blue Heron. Juveniles are completely white just like Egrets. A row of built-in “teeth” along the Little Blue Heron’s middle toe serves as a grooming comb. The bird uses this handy tool to scratch its head, neck, and throat.
