Long Legs

The Great blue heron - Ardea Herodias - is a wading bird found throughout North America.

When searching for prey these birds wade slowly or stand statue-like, stalking fish, frogs or small mammals in shallow water or open fields. This bird is easily identified why flying by the distinctive “S” shape of the neck.

This bird can be found in both salt water and fresh water habitats.

This bird was found on a pier located in Gulf Shores State Park in Alabama.  It was panhandling for bait scraps from the fishermen.
