When is white really blue?

When it’s a juvenile Blue Heron. Blue Herons go from white to white/blue to blue. The color change is remarkable to see. You can see some blue coming thru. Captured at Sweetwater Wetlands.

Super that you were able to capture this cutie. I saw the juvenile Blue Heron today as well, but he was scared and flew out too quick to get a good shot.

I just posted a pic wondering if my subject was a white phase blue heron or a great egret. Since I don't think we have white herons. Very nice closeup shot.
