The Missouri Department of Conservation wants to help you to discover nature and learn more about the great blue heron.
Found statewide in the summer, the largest of North American herons stands about two feet tall, has a wingspan of approximately four feet and is really more grayish-blue than blue.
Blue herons have long legs for wading and a slender neck and spear-like bill for catching fish.
To view one up close, find a body of water.
If you live in a city that has a city park with a pond, you have a pretty fair chance of seeing a great blue heron there or if you come down to any of the bigger rivers or wetland areas like Eagle Bluffs, you are almost certain to see some great blue herons.
These majestic birds are frequently seen flying, with their necks tucked in a compact s-shaped curve, over open ground as they move from nest site to feeding territories.
Great blue herons are enjoyed by bird watchers and others, though chances are you won’t get too close before this secretive bird spreads its long wings and carries itself to a more private watering hole.
