I’ve been watching the wading birds at Agua Caliente and I added some new Great Blue Heron photos.
Originally posted on Tj's Garden:
The tall GREAT BLUE bird is the most common and largest of North American HERONS.
The Great Blue Heron is found as far north as the southern Canadian provinces. From the southern United States southwards, and on the Pacific coast Great Blue Herons are year round residents.
This wading bird can be found in a range of habitats, swamps, flooded meadows, fresh and saltwater marshes, or shorelines. You will find Great Blue Herons close to bodies of water and usually nesting in bushes or trees.
These stately herons are expert fishers. Great Blue Herons snare their prey by walking slowly, or standing still
