Tricolored Heron at Florida

Florida's low-lying peninsula, laced with freshwater marshes and cypress stands between the Atlantic and Gulf coastlines, provides the wetland conditions favoured by the Tricolored Heron. Photographers joining the Florida Ospreys holiday in April are well placed to encounter this elegant wader amid the same marshy habitat that draws the trip's namesake raptors. The intricate network of shallow wetlands offers varied backdrops for capturing the heron against Florida's distinctive interior scenery. April's conditions make it a favourable time to plan a visit around this species alongside the wider birdlife the region supports.
