*** About Great Blue Herons: Great Blue Herons are one of the most widespread and adaptable wading birds in North America, often spotted along coastlines, in wetlands, and on waterways. Standing up to four feet tall with a wingspan of nearly six feet, these birds are known for their impressive stature and slow, graceful movements. Primarily fish eaters, Great Blue Herons employ a keen sense of sight to spot their prey before diving with remarkable precision. Their presence in a habitat signifies a healthy aquatic environment, as they require unpolluted water to thrive. Their nesting colonies, known as heronries, can be a spectacular sight, often containing dozens of nests high in trees or reeds.
