Description
The Great Blue Heron is one of the most widespread and adaptable wading birds in North America. Great Blue Heron is a majestic sight. This stately heron with its subtle blue-gray plumage often stands motionless as it scans for prey or wades belly deep with long, deliberate steps. They may move slowly, but Great Blue Herons can strike like lightning to grab a fish or snap up a gopher.
Juvenile Great Blue Herons are medium-gray like the adult, but have two-toned bills and a streaked neck. Adult Great Blue Herons have clean white crowns, whereas juveniles and immatures are duskier gray, becoming progressively whiter with age.
Captured in Needham, Massachusetts.
