Great Blue Heron

Ardea herodias

Description:

I was sort of surprised to see them here since we weren't near any large body of water. A creek did run close by, but these two heron were perched on that large rock looking out over trees and fields.

Habitat:

Lair O' the Bear Open Space Park, Idledale, Colorado

I think Great Blue Heron. Great finding them where you least expect it.

James, what is your ID for these? Herons, as Ashish as suggested?

Great shots! I wasn't sure about my ID until after I checked but looks like they are pretty widespread across the US.
