31 Great Heron on Beach in North Redington Beach, Florida

The Great Heron is a joy to watch as they patiently stand three to four feet tall in shallow water and then take long, measured strides before lashing out towards an aquatic prey. There seems to be considerable debate, particularly in Florida, if the Great Blue Heron and the Great White Heron are the same bird with just a morph in color or if they are separate species. There are several organizations, such as the Florida Shorebird Alliance, that tags and then reports on bird activities and migrations. The silver tag on this bird’s right leg is an example.
