Description
A Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) is resting on a log with the view over the Gulf of Mexico in Cape San Blas, Florida. I like this perspective against a beautiful sky.
Widespread and familiar, the Great Blue Heron is the largest heron in North America. Often seen standing silently along inland rivers or lakeshores, or flying high overhead, with slow wingbeats, its head hunched back onto its shoulders. Highly adaptable, it thrives around all kinds of waters from subtropical mangrove swamps to desert rivers to the coastline of southern Alaska. With its variable diet it is able to spend the winter farther north than most herons, even in areas where most waters freeze.
