Tricolored Heron (Egretta tricolor), Sweetwater Wetlands, Pima County

This Tricolored Heron was found by Ian Murray and photographed by Mark McGinnis on 30 May 2016

Tricolored Heron is a casual visitor to Arizona, most often in summer. Most records are of immatures but this is an adult bird.

Contrast between dark breast and white belly at all ages is unique among North American herons.
