A short visual tribute to three of my favorite (and some of our most common) wetland birds . . . .
Tri-colored Heron
Green Heron
These herons are here with us all year round, and keep us smiling no matter what the weather. Despite the summer heat, they always seem to find relief from the high temperatures in refreshing pools, shade-covered ponds, and breezy treetops.
Great Blue Heron
Although early September may signal the final days of summer for many, my weather app tells me that today is September 1, and it is 90 degrees – and ‘feels like 104′! – here in southeast Florida.
Stay cool, friends~!
Birder's Journey 
I’ve thought of moving to Florida, but the summers, not sure if I could handle the heat and humidity. Today, in Michigan high 74, feels like 74. (Lol).
My favorite is the green heron. First time I saw one was last year.
Stay cool my friend.

I read up on the green herons. Clever little fishermen they are. The one I saw last year was sitting on the back of a very large fancy yacht. It certainly has great taste lol

I don’t miss the New York weather at all, and just go birding or walking early on summer days, then stay in the AC. ☀️ The rest of the year is heaven, Connie!

I guess you would do all your outdoors chores during the morning hours. 😀

Thanks so much. Looks like this storm will miss us in southeast Florida – but feeling concerned for those in its path.

I just love the the noisy, colorful green heron. I also enjoy the night herons I’ve seen at the Ding Darling refuge on Sanibel Island. Wherever one visits, there are so many beautiful birds to be enchanted by:)
I thoroughly enjoyed your photographs!

Thanks so much for visiting – looks like we enjoyed many of the same wonderful birds. I’ve only been to Ding Darling twice, but it is a real treat.
