Up at 3:45 to get to Brigantine by sunrise with Joanne and Geoffrey. Figured someone had to feed the greenheads. We happened across a massive feeding frenzy where hundreds of gulls, terns, egrets, herons and night-herons were noisily feasting on minnows coming in on the tide. It was quite spectacular. Among the diners was a single juvenile Tricolored Heron. The Tricolors that I've seen in Florida are wonderfully photogenic birds, but they are uncommon visitors to Brigantine on the NJ shore. I happened to be in the right spot when this youngster decided he had had his fill of minnows and took off; I've never photographed a juvenile Tricolored before.
