Tricolored heron


Tricolored heron, originally uploaded by andiwolfe.


This is the Tricolored heron that has been spotted up at Metzger Marsh on the south shore of Lake Eerie.  It's a rare find for Ohio, which meant that it drew the birders in major flocks - complete with binoculars, huge camera lenses, and better beamer flash accessories.  I was lucky to see this after all the paparazzi gave up and left.  It was even nicer that it was Mother's Day. . .



Tricolored herons are small!

You can see how small this beautiful heron is when you compare it to a Canada goose.
