Egretta tricolor



Smaller than the Great Blue Heron, the Tricolored Heron is sleek and slender with 3 main colors: blue-gray, lavender, and white. The white stripe on its neck and belly set it apart from other dark herons. You can find tricolored herons in freshwater and saltwater habitats. They often run, stop, and make quick turns while in search of small fish.
