Description
Photographed at Lake Patagonia, Arizona the largest of the North American herons with long legs, a sinuous neck, and thick, dagger-like bill. Head, chest, and wing plumes give a shaggy appearance. In flight, the Great Blue Heron curls its neck into a tight āSā shape; its wings are broad and rounded and its legs trail well beyond the tail. Males are slightly larger, usually coming closer to the high end of their length range, around 54 inches, whereas females may be nearer the low end, at roughly 38 inches long. Males also have larger beaks than females and may have some puffy plumage on the backs of their heads.
