When I saw this immature Great Blue Heron along the trail at Shark Valley in the Everglades, I had to stop and admire those gorgeous brows fluttering in the breeze. So handsome! The bird stood perfectly still in the marsh grass as I took a few photos. From what I understand, those lush eyebrows will grow into the bird's signature black plumes as it enters adulthood. The next time I visit Shark Valley, he'll probably be about four feet tall and spearing little fish with that daggerlike bill of his.

For those of us in Florida, we sometimes forget how lucky we are to be able to see such a magnificent bird on a regular basis. The "eyebrows" make this heron look like an ornery old man.
