*** About Great Blue Heron: The Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) is a large wading bird common throughout most of North America, including Texas. Known for its striking appearance and poised hunting stance, Great Blue Herons can frequently be spotted along coastlines, in wetlands, and near the water's edge where they fish for their primary diet. These herons are characterized by their blue-gray plumage, long legs, and sinuous necks. An adult heron can stand up to four feet tall and has a wingspan that can exceed six feet. Observing these majestic birds in their natural habitats provides a glimpse into the complex ecosystems where they play a crucial role as predators on aquatic organisms.
