GREAT BLUE HERON
(Ardea Herodias)
This is my favourite of the big herons, unless I am in the southern states and the Caribbean, and then my favourite heron would be the Great White Heron. They are both among the four largest herons in the world and endlessly fascinating in their feeding and nesting behaviours. When in flight, there are few birds in the world that provide such a deliberate, majestic flight and are such a wonderful sight to behold. The Snively wetlands in Oak Ridges are only a few kilometres from my urban home, and there are deer to be found there, surrounded by urban development.
