Great Blue Heron

Ardea herodias

Description:

The great blue heron is a tall gray heron. Black eyebrows extend into several long plumes off the back of head. Long yellow bill. Feathers at base of neck drop down in a kind of necklace. Female same as male. One of the most common herons. Nests in tree tops near or over open water.

Habitat:

This blue heron was spotted on West Point Lake in West Point, Georgia. I managed to capture three different poses. Each makes him seem like a different bird. Amazing.
