5. Little Blue Heron (Egretta caerulea)
I've since gotten better at immediately identifying Herons and Egrets, but when I first got interested in bird photography, I would often get really frustrated when trying to find the difference between them
My mind still sometimes to struggle to grasp the fact that these are the same animal

4. Snowy Egret (Egretta thula)
Sometimes I think that Herons and Egrets are just nasty little freaks that hang out in smelly mud all day, but then I see them also give off such a beauty that really shines through the brown and green marshes.
I particularly like this photo, it feels so elegant, clean, and magical. Trust me I say that it smelled like a million eggy farts
