The Tricolored Heron is a slender wading bird found in coastal marshes and shallow wetlands throughout the southeastern United States. Known for its slate-blue body and white belly, it hunts small fish and crustaceans in shallow water. Unlike many herons, it often feeds with active, energetic movements rather than standing still. Elegant and purposeful, it remains a striking presence in Southern wetlands.
