The Future Is Blue
Little Blue Herons are little and blue, with heads and necks that are purple-maroon. That is, they are blue except when they are juveniles, during which time they are pure white, with green legs and two-toned bills. Little Blue Herons are rare in Colorado, but can occasionally be spotted migrating through, and in, marshy areas and estuaries. This juvenile Little Blue Heron was photographed by Park Hill resident Mark Silverstein.
