Tricolor in Vegitation

I don't exactly know what the surrounding is, but it grows profusely on some of the banks in Bayou Sauvage. Shot early last week in morning light. Full frame, larger image included.

The surrounding habitat contrasts nicely with the color of the bird. Great pose and very sharp.

Sweet One Bill!

I like this image for all the reasons mentioned by Ken. Nice IQ, Bill.

Nice photo of a TH doing its strut.
The heron is good and sharp with plenty of detail and even though there is a lot of detail in the BG the even colour means that it doesn't distract.

This bird looks different from the ones I see around North Texas. There is a lot more reddish brown in the wing feathers and on the neck. I checked my Sibley guide and I think this is a juvenile. I think I like the juv plumage better than the adult. BTW a very nice shot. I like the pose and the bird is set off nicely by the vegetation.
