Description
It is amazing to watch these giant Great Blue Herons in action, here they are nest building an incredible sight to see.
The Great Blue Heron is the largest and most widespread heron in North America. Great blue herons size range from 3.2 to 4.5 feet and a wide wingspan of 5.5 to 6.6 feet making them a joy to see in flight. They can cruise at some 20 to 30 miles an hour. The average life span in the wild is 15 years.
Herons get their name from their grey-blue feathers. Blue herons will nest in groups from 5 to 500 nests in one colony. A colony of herons is called a" heronry". They lay three to six pale blue eggs and raise one brood per year. A heron may abandon the nest if it is disturbed by humans. Other predators include bald eagles, great horned owls, hawks, bears and raccoons.
