Juvenile Little Blue Herons

[Blufftonian]

• NIKON CORPORATION NIKON D500
• 500.0 mm f/5.6
• ƒ/5.6
• 500mm
• 1/1600s

All white as juveniles, and looking much like Snowy Egrets except for the slightly bluish bills and legs, when they attain adult plumage these birds will have purplish heads and necks and dark, slate blue bodies.

Looks like a singing duo.
