Keep in mind that there are 2 distinct "Blue Herons".

Great Blue Heron, Ardea herodias

Little Blue Heron, Egretta caerulea

That’s it. I’m going to the library. I should know my native birds like the back of my hand.

The great blue heron is plentiful around the coast where I’m from. Here the little herons are plentiful especially around the ponds here. Guess I’ve been seeing little blue herons all along. Lots of red hawks and eagles too.

Glad you’re back Swampsniper!
