Great Blue Heron
They will hunt around on land, as
well as in the water. You may see them hunting on your lawn, or in the
woods for mice or moles. They can often be seen wading along the edge of
the lake, and if you watch them long enough, you may see them catch a
fish. They are amazing fliers, with impressive
wingspans. They sometimes perch high in trees. They have beautiful
blue-gray feathers, with a spot on their shoulders.
