Tony Leukering Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Note the color and pattern (or lack thereof) of the crown, the color of the eyes, the color and pattern of the neck, the color of the legs, and the color and pattern of the bill. There are many, many differences between the two beside the very large difference in size. This is an adult Great Blue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWM Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Appears to be a Tricolored Heron, GBH would have a substantial crest feather and have a much grayer neck & head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWM Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Did you mean Tricolored or LITTLE Blue Heron? This is definitely not a Great Blue Heron, but the leg color is more suited to Little Blue Heron. I think I can see a slight white crest on the bird, which would indicate Tricolored. May want to wait on more replies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
