Welcome back everyone! Hope everyone had a good holiday and didn’t go too far overboard on eating. Always a tough holiday for me since I have a bad habit of doing the math on what it will take to work off every dessert that I opt to enjoy. You gotta splurge every once in a while otherwise all those workout sessions start being …well w o r k rather than an opportunity to enjoy some sweetness. Been a busy holiday for me so decided to take a quick break and rest the legs – fingers were itching to do something, so brought up the WordPress dashboard and away we go.
Today’s post doesn’t feature one bird… not even two birds, rather THREE birds. A true birding trifecta. Let’s start with this pretty Heron.
That my friends is a Tricolored Heron. It was shot while on our Texas birding trip back in November 2013. In fact, all three birds in this post were taken on that particular trip. My apologies, but I cannot remember the exact location this one was taken at. Maybe Linda can remember and let us know in the comments. I do recall that there were a number of small channels that were being used by kayaks – possibly a state park. Likely somewhere near Galveston.
Hit the jump to read more about this bird as well as two other large waders.
