And why would it be a BLUE Heron if it is actually gray?

Blue herons are gray, sometimes with a hint of blue. See photo of the Great Blue Heron here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_blue_heron#/media/File:GBHfish5.jpg

My brother in law had a small pond in his back yard stocked with Koi fish. They kept disappearing until one day he spotted a blue heron standing on the roof of the shed next to the pond. I got him an artificial heron which he placed next to the pond and that kept the real one away......

Yea, I wanted to share that I spotted a red wing blackbird at my bird feeder last week here in snow filled S.E. Michigan. They normally don't start showing up from the south till around April.......

I get them every fall. They eat my goldfish in the pond.

The blue color does come out a little brighter on males during breeding season, but the normal color is a faded blue-grey, like old blue jeans.

I once was hunting groundhogs with my uncle. He was a few hundred yards ahead of me and wearing faded blue jeans. Up ahead, on the edge of a pond I saw him doing... Handstands? What the ...?

It was a great blue heron, stretching its wings up, getting ready to fly off. The wings looked like blue jean legs...

Damn blue herons have been eating my koi.
I’ve probably lost 20 over the past 2 years.

Global warming? Er, ah, sorry, Climate Change?

I’ve had blue birds at my nesting boxes for the past two weeks.

I get both. The grey usually have dark grey or black on the wing tips. So I’m not sure but very pretty bird.

Great Blue Herons are voracious fish eaters.

Simple solution: Hire a security guard. Won’t have to be 24 hours. They’re gone before dark.

They show up where there is water. We had one hanging around the drainage pond at the ranch. At 7100’ in the mountains east of Albuquerque. Probably no other body of water for 20 miles.
