Thanks Kelly. It’s so weird how often I also see these first year birds—you’d think they would be a minority, but it seems not!

Little blue heron, not blue #birds
Little blue heron standing on a pile of twisted branches. Despite her name, every feather on this bird is white. The bird’s back is to the camera and her head is turned to the right. She is a tall wading bird with long yellow-green legs and an S-shaped neck and a daggerlike bill. Some webby stuff, perhaps a spider web, clings to her beak, which is pale with a dark tip.

Sweet lil South Georgia boy #birds
Male downy woodpecker perched on the end of a broken branch, facing up and to the right. “Our smallest woodpecker,” as Sibley puts it, has a white belly and black wings flecked in white. His black crown and black eye line mark his otherwise white head, but let’s not forget that sweet red patch near his nape. He is floofed out and may be a first-year bird. Also his beak is short and black and cute. The background is unfocused bright green foliage.

I’m gonna start complaining about fall warblers pretty soon but before I do here’s a last look at this lovely creature #birds
Snowy egret standing on a sandy beach, standing in a tide pool, viewed directly from behind. The bird’s head is turned to the right so you see her lovely profile. This is a tall wading bird and every feather on her body is white except for a few sandy plumes on her rump and nape. Her eye is yellow and her beak is black and daggerlike. She has lovely black legs with yellow markings behind the knees. The background is light-colored sand.

He seems very in control. I occasionally see one-legged birds. One cardinal and one sandpiper come to mind as I sit here drinking my morning coffee. Birds are so awesome

Your Thursday evening egret #birds
Snowy egret standing on a flat sandy beach, viewed directly from behind. The bird’s head is turned to the right so you see her lovely profile. This is a tall wading bird and every feather on her body is white except for a few sandy plumes on her rump and nape. Her eye is yellow and her beak is black and daggerlike. She has lovely black legs and large bright yellow feet. The background is flat wet sand below and bright blue sky above and behind the egret.
