ORMOND BEACH, FL - - This youngster we encountered at De Leon Springs could easily cause a case of mistaken identity. What might look like a Snowy Egret on first glance is really an immature (young) Little Blue Heron. You can't seem them, but this guy has legs as green as the wetland area leaves he's stalking through. Once he gets older the plumage turns a darkish blue and the legs get more of a gray hue to them.
