[cobirds] Little Blue Heron at Alamosa NWR

This-past week I saw an immature Little Blue Heron on the Auto Tour Loop at the Alamosa National Wildlife Refuge. The bird is white, and has a prominent blue base to the bill. It was not re-seen yesterday but should be watched for in this area.
 
I lead a bird trip yesterday to Alamosa hotspots, and we had a nice morning. Eastern Kingbird, many species of shorebirds, Blue Grosbeak, Osprey, and Townsend's Warbler were some of the highlights.
Why is it even the common birds look so different this time of year! Keeps it interesting for sure.....
