Pictured is a little blue heron hunting in the wetlands beside the Marsh Trail in the Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge in Florida. The binomial name is Egretta Caerulea. A reflection is seen on the nearly smooth water surface. Little blue herons prefer to stand still and wait when hunting, rather than chase after prey. They walk slowly and search for fish and other prey items.
