Stellar shot - they do grow fast dont they.

neat looking neck shot...almost looks like the head and neck are twisted.....

[jackbreakfast]

Thank you, folks! Who's got a better neck than a great blue heron? Nobody I know...

It is a great capture, but I have  a bit of a dumb question, how do you know the heron is a juvie? I can't seem to tell the difference ...and..is there a difference between male and females? or are they so small we don't notice?

[jackbreakfast]

Irene, that isn't a dumb question at all. The adult has some lovely plumes and also a white cap. It's a larger bird as well...for example, the picture you recently posted is of an adult...no real way to tell the sexes apart other than perhaps some kind of creepy inspection?

[Irene]

Thanks Jack, yeah the one I posted did have a little plume thingy at the back of his head, maybe just the males have the plume thing?..hmmm
