We think (speculate) this might have been the first flight/landing of this fledgling Western Blue Bird (Sialia mexicana). Such a cutie! ❤️😘

Here is the same group of birds a few moments later.
It is for sure a juvenile black crowned heron. If you scroll back on our page a little you will
Find a picture of it after it flew over our heads to a tree.
I don’t think there’s any cattle egrets here… Just a mixture of snowy and Great egrets.
