Great Blue Heron #6 - 2021-07-10

            Great Blue Heron.  

Between 39 to 52 inches long with a wingspan of around 5 feet 10 inches.  A common, large mainly grayish heron with a pale or yellowish colored bill.  It is often mistaken for a Sandhill Crane but flies with its neck folded and not extended like the Sandhill Crane.  In southern Florida an all-white form, the "Great White Heron", differs from the Great Egret in that they are larger with  greenish-yellow legs rather than the black legs of the Great Blue Heron.

Their habitat includes lakes, ponds, rivers and marshes.

They breed locally from coastal Alaska, south-central Canada and Nova Scotia south to Mexico and the West Indies.  Winters as far north as southern Alaska, central United States and southern New England.  Also in the Galapagos Islands.

Kensington Metropark, Livingston County, Michigan.
