2017 Photographic Big Year 81
Week 35 - Even though hundreds of birds are arriving on the island
daily, as the southern (fall) migration continues, I am finding it difficult to
add to my various checklists. I am not
too worried though as it is still early days and many year birds are expected
before years end but you may be surprised to note that the 81st bird
of my 2017 photo challenge is a common bird, a Little Blue Heron. I waited patiently for weeks, even months,
for this juvenile heron, which sported an all-white plumage, to molt into its beautiful
purplish-blue adult plumage. A few more day and it will be fully molt.
