***About Great Blue Heron: Known scientifically as Ardea herodias, the great blue heron is the largest North American heron. These majestic birds are frequently spotted in wetlands across the continent. They have a sophisticated and striking appearance, characterized by a shaggy ruff around their necks and a sharp, probing bill. Diet-wise, they are highly adaptable, feeding on a wide range of aquatic and occasionally terrestrial organisms. Great blue herons breed in colonies, which can be spectacularly large, and are known for their distinctive, croaking calls often heard echoing through their wetland habitats.
