Little Blue Heron

Happy Monday,

I had a nice new theme picked out and my critter linky was not compatible. So, I had to change the theme again.  I am not sure how much I like this one, but maybe it will grow on me until I find another.


My wild bird this week is the Little Blue Heron. I have seen this bird in Florida and in Maryland. These are some various shots of the juvenile and adult Little Blue Herons.

The Little Blue Heron is 24inches long, is blue-grey in color with a purplish head and neck.

The Little Blue has a long pointed bill with a black tip.

The young juvenile Little Blue Heron is all white, with greenish legs. They turn the blue-grey color as they mature.

I hope you enjoyed my photos and post.
As always I thank you for stopping by and as always I appreciate your comments.

My list of memes for today, I hope to see you there. Thanks to both of the host below.

North Point State Park

Hello and happy Thursday!

These are some images from our walk at the North Point State Park in Baltimore County, Maryland. It is great seeing the Little Blue Herons at this park, usually we can see  the juveniles Little Blues too. The Ospreys and Swallows were plentiful on this day and we had pretty views of the Chesapeake Bay.

One of the first Little Blue Herons was on the hunt for food.

Another Little Blue Heron.

Osprey, we saw 3-4 Ospreys at the park. Some must be juveniles.

A juvenile Little Blue Heron.

A view of the pretty sky and Chesapeake Bay.

A dead tree and a few osprey high in sky. In case you did not see the Osprey, one is on each side of the tree high in the sky.

This is a Lunapic Landscape edit, I like the reflections of the sky on the marsh water. 

My thankful list for today:
I am thankful for the simple things, like a pretty sky and beautiful views.
