Nice set do you know how to tell a juvenile from an adult and is this one a juvenile

Juveniles are generally (depending on the stage) less colorful and will carry just a bit of fuzz on their heads. I have a couple of Juvenile shots in process and will post to show the difference.

I think also as they "grow up" their beaks become more toward the harder yellow.
 
Nice set BD. I like the first one (BIF) and the third one where it is very intently watching something. Almost looks like it is going to go in head first. :biggrin-93:

Thanks looks like one of the green herons that i saw today might be a juvenile
 
If you look at his beak closely, he's already been in. I stopped watching him long enough to give myself a +.7 EV and then eye back to the camera and he's already made his pick, leaving not so much as a ripple in the water. They are so fast and so precise it just startles the senses.
 
Very nice set. Love the 3rd.
