Tricolored Heron Picture Gallery | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Tricolored Heron is one of the most beautiful of the wading birds, particularly in its mating plumage. Generally identified by its white underbelly area, its coloration can cause confusion with the much larger great blue heron or the slightly smaller little blue heron. Part of the uncertainty may result from the differing hunting techniques it has developed; it will stealthily stalk, motionlessly waiting for an opportunity to strike its prey along the shoreline and it will also chase wildly through the flats in pursuit of a good meal. The Canon EOS Digital Rebel single lens reflex (dSLR) camera was employed for most of the bird photos below. It was equipped with a Sigma zoom lens 200-500 mm, sometimes with a 1.4 tele-extender. All photos on the page are downsized and compressed for loading speed. The high resolution 6.3 megapixel images are archived offline. A click on each picture brings up a larger image.
