Description
Juvenile little blue herons have white plumage in contrast to adult little blue herons which are dark blue all over. During the final phase, or the calico phase, juvenile little blue herons begin to molt into adult plumage with a mix of dark and white plumage. Therefore, they are also called calico herons.
