Tricolored Heron with Moon at Dusk - a photo on Flickriver

"Tricolored Heron with Moon at Dusk" by Patti Deters. A Tricolored Heron (Egretta tricolor) is seen perched in a tree at dusk framed by a full moon. The evening sky is a little cloudy and this coastal bird is settling in for the night. These wading birds are sometimes confused with Great Blue Herons or even cranes as they share similar body shape with the long legs, elongated necks, blue gray feathers, and general stork-like appearance. This single bird was found in Big Cypress National Preserve, near the Florida Everglades National Park, though many times you can see them in the coastal areas of the tropics.
