2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Tricolor Heron Fledgling, South Florida, USA
Walking On Air

Species: Tricolor Heron Fledgling | Location: South Florida, USA

This beautiful Tricolor Heron fledgling was anxious to get to his mom, who was resting on the next bush. He wasn't ready to take flight, but took a wing-assisted leap instead.

About The Photographer

Hi. I'm not a professional photographer.... just a lover of nature and frustrated artist at heart! My "happy place" is just about anywhere I can witness wildlife in its natural environment. Being able to capture some of those special moments in a photo is a thrill.
