Wurdemann's Heron at Wakodahatchee tending its nest:

A Wurdemann's Heron is a mix between the Great Blue Heron and its Great White Heron color morph. As the Great White Heron is truly a bird of the Florida Keys and the Southern Everglades seeing a Wurdemann's as far north as Wakodahatchee seems very unusual to me.
Logically its mate would more likely be a Great Blue in this locale and that was indeed the case when the other parent arrived sometime after this shot.
