*** About Blue Herons: Blue herons, scientifically known as Ardea herodias, are amongst the most widespread and adaptable wading birds in North America. They can be found from the coastal waters of Alaska, extending through Southern Canada to parts of South America. Noteworthy for their impressive size, these herons can stand about four feet tall with a wingspan reaching up to six feet. Predominantly fish eaters, blue herons employ a patient hunting strategy, standing still for long periods before striking swiftly to capture their prey. Their presence in diverse habitats, from freshwater lakes to intertidal marshes, underscores their adaptability and the vital role they play in their ecological niche.
