Description
A tri-colored heron is mirrored in the waters beside the Lake Apopka North Shore Wildlife Drive in Orange County, Florida.
Tricolored herons (egretta tricolor), formerly known as the Louisianna heron, can be found in the coastal sub-tropical swamps of the southeastern United States, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, down to central Brazil and Peru in South America.
It is a medium sized slender heron measuring from 23.6" to 27.6" in length with a wingspan between 37.4" and 38" with a long slender neck and long orange yellowish-brown bill with a black tip.The long legs are yellow or orange as well as the feet. The head, neck, back and upperwings are a blue-grey and a white line runs down the neck to a white belly. During breeding season the bill turns a bright blue and some white feathers extend from the back of the head.
Tricolored herons eat mostly small fish that they often chase and herd with open wings, sometimes looking like they are doing a crazy dance.
They build stick nests.
