| | Tricolored Heron Habitat Model |
 | | Tricolored herons breed along and somewhat inland of the U.S. Gulf Coast, all of Florida, and along the Atlantic coast into New England. |
 | | Tricolored herons breed primarily in coastal wetlands (Frederick 1997), such as salt marshes, estuarine shallows, tidal flats, and river deltas, but also may use freshwater areas such as ponds and marshes. |
 | | Tricolored herons "...sometimes feed in freshwater marshes, but essentially are birds of brackish and saltwater areas." (Spendelow and Patton 1988). |
