The Little Blue Heron is a smallish, slate-gray heron with a dark gray, black-tipped bill.  Adults have a chestnut-colored head and neck. First-year birds have all-white plumage and a blue, black-tipped bill.

Little blue herons are frequently seen walking slowly along the edges of freshwater marshes and other wetlands.  They feed on fish, lizards, baby turtles, frogs and aquatic insects.
