“See Anything?” “No, Not Yet”
Little Blue and Snowball were hunting this afternoon among the oyster beds in the salt marsh during low tide. The little blue heron was there first and perhaps the snowy egret thought the heron had found some hot fishing area so he decided to join the little blue.
They did have some success, and each ended up catching quite a few small minnows and shrimp. One interesting aspect of these birds is that little blue herons are all white as juveniles and look almost identical to snowy egrets.

Those two birds together make for a real photo. Thanks.
Real nice photo, I mean.
Thanks very much, I appreciate your kind comments and I’m glad you liked this photo.
Such a cool photo
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
Funny title! Nice detail in the two birds.
I’m glad you liked the title and this pair was kind of fun to watch. At one point they got too close to a GBHs fishing area and he sent them off.
That is a great title. If I was ever at the marsh that’s how I’d be following you as well to get some great photos like you:)
Glad you enjoyed the title. You should come down for a visit some day and I’ll introduce you to the alligators. They would love to have you. Uh, I mean see you.
Ha! Another winner caption and terrific image, Phil.
I appreciate your kind words Jane, thanks!
I too like the title and the wonderful photo. I agree with Lyle. You do find the best places to take photos and I would follow you too.
Ok then, you and Lyle both should come down for a visit and I’ll take y’all on the personalized tour *including* our alligator friends. 🙂
Brothers from another mother. They even have the same expression and stance. 🙂 Too cute.
They are like that indeed! They are quite similar in size and fish the same way. Fun birds. 😀
Wonderful image Phil. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it Jan, thanks.
Splendida immagine, con un titolo molto adatto. Bravissimo Phill !!
Ciao, Pat
Grazie Pat! 😀
This is a real “Aah” picture, Phil! Just gorgeous!
It was a lovely afternoon out at the salt marsh (if not just a bit too breezy) 🙂 More of the same is expected today and I plan to head back over later.
Thanks Maggie!
They make a lovely couple! 🙂
They do, don’t they?! 🙂 Thanks for looking Adrian!
Love this capture! 🙂 Beautiful, Phil!
Well I’m happy you enjoyed this Amy, thank you!
Very sweet image, Phil. They look like good fishing buddies. 🙂
Glad you liked it Sylvia. And yes these two were getting along just fine which was something the snowy was incapable of doing with another snowy that was nearby. But that’s typical snowy behavior.
There was also a GBH in the area that got tired of them fishing in ‘his’ marsh so he sent them all off.
They are quite a little pair. It’s interesting to me that they get along so well — youngsters!
They do get along well but there was a certain great blue heron in the area that did not appreciate this pair fishing in his marsh.
They look very absorbed in their common task. It would be interesting to see a juvenile blue heron next to a snowy 🙂 Amazing and amusing shot, Phil 🙂
Their attention most certainly was fixed n the task at hand which was fishing.
I’m sure I have photos in my files of snowys and a juvenile LBH together. I’ll see if I can dig one up.
Lovely shot, Phil – I really like the fact that they look so similar and are in such similar poses, but are dark and light coloured.
