The Great Blue Heron is a little lighter, almost greyish. I really think I’ve seen Tricolors in S. Florida. In fact, I think one is in a stream behind my workplace. If I can pry the digital camera away from the wife I’ll try to get a photo.
Tell the Lady, if you don’t use it you’re gonna lose it, LOL.
Really, as cheap as decent digital cameras have become, just get one for yourself. We have Tricolors all over the place, as well as Little Blues and Great Blues, and all kinds of other critters, just slow down and pay more attention. God never intended Florida, for people in a hurry!
