Location: Sebastian InletA Tricolored Heron (t.r) and a Snowy Egret
Can mate but the result will barren.
The young will be multicolored, and have yellow feet,
And might be mistaken for a Reef Heron.
(Note: I photographed the bird mentioned in the article below back in 2013, and all these years I thought it was the Reef Heron, which it was identified as at the time. I just saw this article and realized that my life list is a lie.)
