A young Great Blue Heron surveys alligator alley from atop an old tree trunk buried in the mud on Horsepen Bayou. He/she will get those mature feathers in a bit, but I call them Great Brown Herons when they are in this stage…my own terminology. This truth is that I know very little about these birds except for the fact that are not as skittish as youngsters as they are when they mature.
