Tricolored Heron - Egretta tricolor

I almost felt sorry for the birds at this particular location. I would have left too as this Tricolored Heron does. Lots of crap on the ground. Looks like a trash site. I´ve croped away the worst part. Still there is a tire and other junk stuff laying there.  The good thing was that it was not a common sighting. :(
