Description
Little Blue Heron ( Egretta caerulea) watching from a tree.
The Little Blue Heron's breeding habitat is sub-tropical swamps. It nests in colonies, often with other herons, usually on platforms of sticks in trees or shrubs. 3-7 light blue eggs are laid.
These little heron's mingle with Snowy Egrets and on average catch more fish when they are among the Snowy Egrets, which seem to provide the herons with a bit more protection from predators. It is thought that they might be the reason that the Little Blue Heron stays white the first year.
