Birders,
The Little Blue Heron along the White Rocks Trail is a first-year going on second-year that is in a confusing state of molt that gives it a superficial resemblance to a Tricolored Heron. Everything matches up fine for Little Blue except it has a white belly and some white on the throat. But, the two white areas do not connect being interupted by blue on the breast. Other than that all features add up to a Little Blue. Just a reminder to anyone searching for the Cassin's Sparrows to please be respectful and give them some distance. We want to give them the best of all chances to breed sucsessfully. Bring a scope for satisfying views from a respectful distance, and be cognizant of the behavior of any and all birds in your vacinity. It is the height of the breeding season for the locals and most birds will let you know if you are too close to a nest. If you flush a bird, retreat quickly so momma can get back to business. This is especially important in the heat of the day.
