James Audubon considered the Tri-colored HeronEgrette tricolor to be most beautiful the North American birds. With it white undersides, blue body and neck, brownish coverts, and striking head plumage - it makes a good choice.
Its range is similar to that of the Little Blue Heron, Southeastern U.S. especially along the coasts.
These photos were all taken at on the salt marshes of Cape May.
