About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — An immature -- therefore white -- Little Blue Heron (center, with black bill) joins Roseate Spoonbills and a pair of Great Egrets in a lake near Kennedy Space Center. The heron ranges along the east coast of the United States, from New York to Texas, inland to Oklahoma. It winters from South Carolina to South America. For habitat the Little Blue Heron prefers freshwater swamps and lagoons in the South, coastal thickets on islands in the North.
