[Maine-birds] Mystery Heron in Scarborough Marsh, 7/30

Hi all,

Earlier today I photographed a most unusual - but rather beautiful! - wading bird in Scarborough Marsh.  At the moment, I am proposing a juvenile Little Blue Heron x Tricolored Heron hybrid.  Here are some photos (with a link to others) and my thoughts on this interesting bird:

 Comments and suggestions as to this bird's age and identity are most welcome!
