Little Blue Heron on the Hunt – Nikon D200, handheld, f6.3, 1/750, ISO 200, Nikkor 80-400mm VR at 340mm, natural light
This Little Blue Heron (Egretta caerulea) was photographed in Florida as it hunted for prey in a shallow lagoon the edge of a marsh in late afternoon light. The heron stalked small fish, crabs and shrimp while I sat in the warm water photographing it and the other birds nearby.

Mia this is stunning as are all of your photos. You have become such a role model and example for me as I begin my own wildlife photography journey. I appreciate and truly devour your posts. Thank you so much for your generosity of spirit in all that you share. 🙂

Beautiful, Mia. Excellent detail. I have never seen one of these.
Thanks Bob, I hope that you get to see a Little Blue Heron soon!
Nicely saturated color on the bird, Mia.
Thanks Julie, the light that day did help with the color of the heron.
I have never seen one so small before. He’s beautiful. Carol
Thank you Carol, The Little Blue Heron is much smaller than the Great Blue Heron.
