Ardea herodias
Great Blue Heron Juvenile
"Look for Great Blue Herons in saltwater and freshwater habitats, from open coasts, marshes, sloughs, riverbanks, and lakes to backyard goldfish ponds. They also forage in grasslands and agricultural fields. Breeding birds gather in colonies or “heronries” to build stick nests high off the ground." via www.allaboutbirds.org
The flexible pipe this juvenile heron is standing on is part of the flow device installed to regulate a beaver dam's height in downtown Martinez, CA.
