Day 34: Great Blue Heron

The Great Blue Heron is a common wading bird found throughout most of North America, Central America, and down to parts of South America. They can be found in both coastal and fresh water habitats.

Although they primarily eat fish, Great Blue Herons will also hunt for rodents and other animals, especially in the winter.

Great Blue Herons are large birds, with slate blue flight feathers, a gray neck, and a nearly white face. They have a pair of black feathers above the eye to the back of the head.
