LBH chicks in the heat

I made one last trip to the Alligator Farm late this afternoon to see if there were any birds left, and there were some, but I didn't get any good shots. I did, though, see two really interesting things. One was that virtually every bird there was panting and most were also trying to combat the heat with gular fluttering. The other was these white LBH chicks. I didn't realize until then that LBH chicks are white. I did a double-take when the parent came back to the nest.

Nice shot of these babies!
Life without sweat glands is tough!

I like the photograph!
I didn't realize the same, Barbara.
I remember posting a picture of an immature LBH several months back, but mistakenly assumed that it was a Snowy Egret...

Hi Barbara. To me, little blues have their most appealing appearance when they are in the transition from white to dark.

nice bright picture with filtered light of sun gave nice effect
