Ardea herodias
Largest of the North American herons with long legs, a sinuous neck, and thick, daggerlike bill. Head, chest, and wing plumes give a shaggy appearance. Great Blue Herons appear blue-gray from a distance, with a wide black stripe over the eye.
Sunning its wings and hunting in an unmowed vacant lot. From 1995 to 2005, Gulf Breeze has received several direct hits and severe blows from numerous hurricanes. Debris is cleard, but several homes that have not been rebuilt.
