*** About Great Blue Heron: The Great Blue Heron, scientifically known as Ardea herodias, is a large wading bird commonly found throughout most of North America. Typically seen along coastlines, in marshes, or near the shores of ponds and streams, these birds are iconic for their slow motion stalking of fish and amphibians. Majestic in appearance, they possess a wingspan of around six feet and have an intricate blue-gray plumage that provides a camouflaging effect in their aquatic habitats. Known for their solitude at most times, herons are also reclusive breeders, preferring solitary nests in tree canopies or thick shrubs.
