T-shirt Tricolored Heron

The tri-colored heron, native to Florida’s wetlands and coastal areas, is a striking bird distinguished by its blue-gray plumage, white belly, and characteristic long neck. Often found wading in shallow waters, it hunts for fish and crustaceans with agile movements and sharp eyesight. As a common sight in Florida’s diverse ecosystems, the tri-colored heron adds to the state’s rich avian diversity and is a favorite subject for birdwatchers and wildlife photographers alike. This Tricolored Heron was heading for the water to cool off from the Florida heat. Then again, maybe it was going back in for a snack.
