*** About Great Blue Heron: The great blue heron, Ardea herodias, is a large wading bird commonly found in wetlands and coastal regions across North America. It is renowned for its impressive stature, standing up to four feet tall with a wingspread of nearly six feet. These birds are primarily fishermen; their diet consists mainly of small fish, which they catch with swift, calculated strikes of their long, dagger-like beaks. Despite their size, great blue herons can fly gracefully with slow, powerful wing beats. Observing one in such a mystical setting as Lake Muskoka highlights their role as iconic figures within North American fauna.
