Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias)

The Great Blue Heron had caught a fish on the shore of Madeira Beach Access, then the fish dropped onto the beach flipped around in the sand before the Heron snapped it up and flew into the tall grass with the fish to eat it. Located in the City of Madeira Beach on the Gulf of Mexico in Pinellas County Florida U.S.A.

 

Water and land are both necessary for this bird. Either salt or fresh water can serve as its fishing grounds, but the birds need islands or woody swamps nearby so they have a place to build their nests
