Description
"Great Blue Heron Portrait" by Debbie Oppermann. The Great Blue Heron, Ardea herodias, is a large wading bird that is common near shores of open areas and wetlands. It is the largest North American Heron with a wing span of 167 - 201cm and a height of 115 - 138cm. Their diet consists of shrimp, crabs, insects, small mammals, amphibians, reptiles and small birds and as it feeds in the shallows it can use it's sharp beak to spear it's food. This Great Blue Heron was stalking in the shallows on the Key River Ontario Canada and it was more interested in catching its lunch than caring about how close we were to it in the boat.
