Egret In The Snow

Found this guy resting in the snow in my backyard today. With 40+ mph winds and snow that won't let up, you really gotta feel for this guy.
A blue Egret??? Ho HO!!

@777margo Obviously I must work on my bird identification skills. Of course I meant that this is the majestic Great Blue Heron, not a Snowy Egret that has turned blue from the cold :)

@swchappell Great reply!!!!!! Is this the real colour-that's what I was wondering?

@777margo Yup, that's the real color, I'm not enough of a photoshop wizard to really change the colors all that much.

Wow, never seen one like that before. The colors are so different, the body as well as the legs. Great shot.

@swchappell that's amazing. I didn't think it was real Sorry

@rickster549 Thanx. The artist picked some pretty bright colors I guess, but I like it.

@777margo The colors are real, the bird is sheet metal tho. We get some herons here in New Jersey, but only rarely and never in my yard, so this guy will have to do.

@swchappell Thankyou for telling me that

Lol! I knew it wasn’t an egret or a real blue heron but it has a wonderful unworldly feel glowing blue in the snow
