Owia, Charlotte Parish, St Vincent, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines: immature Egretta caerulea, commonly known as the Little Blue Heron, a medium-sized wading bird found in wetlands, marshes, and coastal areas throughout the Americas. Recognized for its slender body, long legs, and sharp bill, the species undergoes a striking color change as it matures. Juveniles are pure white, often mistaken for Snowy Egrets, while adults are adorned with slate-blue plumage and purplish-maroon heads and necks. This heron feeds primarily on small fish, crustaceans, and insects, using its sharp bill to spear prey in shallow water. The Little Blue Heron is known for its graceful movements and solitary nature, though it often nests in colonies with other heron species. While not currently endangered, it faces threats from habitat loss and water pollution.
