Description

Great White Heron, immature.

This is at the Florida Keys Wild Bird Center. In addition to being a licensed rehab facility and having a nice plot of natural habitat, the center also tosses fish to the local wild birds. I'm not sure I approve (although it might constitute a 'halfway house' for rehabbed birds that they've released locally), but I wasn't above snapping a few pics of the customers at feeding time.
