wrote: We have a rare visitor in our fair city over by the dam. It is a white morph of the Great Blue Heron, also knowm as the Great White Heron. These are common in Florida, but the folks who know about these things say that this is the first one reported in Tennessee. Note that these shouldn't be confused with the Snowy Egret (Great Egret) which has dark legs and feet. I went over and took a few shots of this special bird yesterday morning. http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/113937733 You are correct that these are a common sight in Florida. This shot was taken near Jacksonville Beach. That green on the heron's head and bill is an indication that it's a male bird in mating season. A photo of the same bird another time of year would not show the green. http://tonycooper.smugmug.com/photos...79_VPHbA-L.jpg -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |
