Great Blue Heron

Hello! Who are you?

i'm a great blue heron. Herons are waders. Those are birds that stay near shallow water.

Where do you live? Great blue herons live in North America. We like rivers, ponds, marshes, and fields

What do you eat? We eat insects, mice, and even snakes. But we like fish best of all.

How do you catch fish? We stand in the water without moving. We wait for fish to swim by. Then we use our sharp bills as spears.

Do you lay eggs? We lay about four eggs at a time. We keep them in nests in high trees.
