Egretta novaehollandiae(White Faced Heron)
The White-faced Heron is mostly light blue-grey in colour, with a characteristic white face. In flight, the dark flight feathers of the wing contrast with the paler grey plumage, making this bird easily identifiable when viewed from below. It has a long, slim neck and a pointed grey-black bill. The legs are long and dull yellow in colour. Sexes are similar. When breeding, the birds have long feathers (nuptial plumes) on the head, neck and back. The White-faced Heron has a slow bouncing flight.
Young White-faced Herons are similar in appearance to the non-breeding adults (no nuptial plumes), but are duller, with little or no white on the face. They often have a reddish colour on the underparts. | | | White faced heron foraging amonst tarragon |

| | I chose tapis_volant as my member name because it is French for "flying carpet" or "magic carpet". I felt it summed up the VT experience.. a feeling of being transported magically to far away places.
I hope you enjoy the ride! |

Any new flower photos, Nettie? Your home page is looking kinda bare. Nice to see you on line again! | TheWanderingCamel Sun May 13, 2007 02:35 UTC
I love those wild blue water lilies you find over your side of the country. No sign of them here in the west. Hope all's well - leyle |
