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. In flight, the Great Blue Heron curls its neck into a tight “S” shape; its wings are broad and rounded and its legs trail well beyond the tail.
Sandy River, tributary of the Appomattox River, which is a tributary of the James River saltwater and freshwater habitats, from open coasts, marshes, sloughs, riverbanks, and lakes
