Great Blue Herons,
Ardea herodias, are long-legged wading birds whose range stretches from Canada south across the United States to the Central American countries. They may be seen anywhere there is sufficient water for fish, their primary food source.
Great Blue Herons are a bird photographer's easiest subject. They are large, and stand still for longer periods of time than most other birds. I found this one wading in a ditch near a small pond. It paused every few steps to peer into the water.

And sometimes you can find Great Blue Herons perched in trees!
Have a wonderful day!
