Tricolored Heron
Caption on plate: Louisiana Heron
“On the 29th of April, while wading around a beautiful key of the Floridas, in search of certain crustaceous animals called the sea Crayfish [Florida lobster], my party and I suddenly came upon one of the breeding places of the Louisiana Heron.”
This bird was painted the same day. Lehman’s background is said to be of a Florida Key. It better resembles the land around the Bulow plantation in northeast Florida.
