Informations supplémentaires

The Great White Heron considered a white color morph of the Great Blue Heron walks along the prop roots of a mangrove community above water's edge at Key Largo Sound. Audubon considered this magnificent and elegant bird to be its own species, Ardea occidentalis. Today most consider it a color variant of Ardea herodias. And some, including this writer, consider it at minimum a sub-species. The name Ardea herodias occidentalis honors the original species name given by Audubon when he encountered this white bird for the first time. It is truly a Keys bird as it does not occur much north of the southern Everglades around the Flamingo Area. This image is not digitally altered as to natural environment but it is a composite composition.
