I saw this little blue heron alone in a bush. Little Blue herons will hunt alone or in small groups.
Little blue herons will eat crabs, fish, crayfish, shrimp, worms, crabs, beetles, flies, dragonflies, and bugs among other things.
Like night herons, they move slow and methodical. They will defend their hunting area from other birds such as terns.
It is fun seeing these birds and their habits. Get out and enjoy nature. Happy Friday!

I need to read up more on that. I don’t know if it helps them cool down, they are trying to intimidate others etc.

I see it more in babies than adults. They tend to look more disheveled.
