Great Blue Herons are opportunistic carnivores that eat a wide variety of land animals, including small mammals (mice, voles, chipmunks), reptiles (snakes, lizards), amphibians (frogs, toads, salamanders), insects, and even small birds like ducklings.

Photo by Kort Duce A great blue heron perches near the top of a mature tree as a spring storm rolls through Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical black-and-white photograph, a budding tree rises from the bottom to near the top of the frame. In the upper right quadrant, the heron roosts facing the camera, its head turned to the left. The scene is silhouetted against shifting light and dark clouds as the storm moves through.

It is #FlyDay.

Photo by Kort Duce A great blue heron flies across a pond at one of my favorite nature areas in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal black-and-white photograph, the heron passes close by from right to left. Its left wing and the rear of its body, including the legs, are cropped out of the frame. The wings are in a downward stroke, and the head plumes trail in motion. The background is softly rippled pond water.

It is #FlyDay and here is a great blue heron flying across the pond at one of my favorite nature areas in Longmont, Colorado.

A great blue heron stands in the dark green slime between big limestone rocks and the waters of the spillway, staring at the water intently, legs bent and neck in the shape of and "S."

The alt theme for #BirdoftheDay is #riverbank any bird capture on the banks of a waterway.

Here, a great blue heron waits to strike near the spillway of Saylorville Dam in central Iowa.

Photo of a small river with a lot of greenery on the riverbanks, on the right side a heron standing in the water watching the photographer (me)

Picture of the same heron on the riverbank, flying away they probably felt they were being watched, and rightly so.

Today‘s #BirdOfTheDay prompt for me is #riverbank I hope my heron pictures fit in!

A sea of Tranquility:

Heron rests on a low cliff edge with springtime sea mist rising from the otherwise still waves.

A heron stood in a dark and fast flowing river stalking its prey. It was dark and a bit wet at the time and the noise of the river added to the atmosphere.

This perhaps only matches loosely with today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme chosen by @alan678.bsky.social from memory the #weather was drizzling but you can’t really see it and this #heron is in the river rather than on the #riverbank but hey! #birds #photography #EastCoastKin #ukbirds #wildlife #ukwildlife

The #BirdOfTheDay alternative theme today #riverbank any bird capture on the banks of a waterway. #birds #photography
A #heron waits for unsuspecting bicycle commuters on the towpath

A heron it's wings outstretched is flying over a marsh area of the St. Lawrence River in parc des rapides, Montreal. You can see it's shadow in the water. There is much green marsh grasses around it.

Large & small #birds from the #PNW. A #heron outside the restaurant & a #hummingbird outside our dining room. Anna's hummers stay all year long & now the Rufous have returned. Up to seven fly around a feeder that we refill every other day. They're so fun to watch! #PNWlife #Birdwatching

A great blue heron with its wings spread wide flying low above a shiny white boulder which is likely composed of quartz. The birds legs are tucked neatly together and trailing straight behind in the typical flight position. There is water flowing around the quartz boulder and a larger granite boulder in the background.

Here is a great blue #heron with a full-body shadow, not in water, but pure quartz! (I hope I'm not mistaken here). Occoquan, Virginia, USA 1-APR-2026. ( 38.687, -77.265 ). #geologist comments welcome. #birds #geology #photography #naturephotography #birdphotography

A cormorant in flight, heading to the left. Background is a cloudy sky with patches of light blue.

A grey heron coming in for a landing. The bird is seen from mostly behind, all feathers are spread to break the speed. The background is a couple of trees with water surrounding.

A mute swan from below, against a blue sky. The bird is brightly lit.

A gull flying and looking towards the camera, featureless grey sky in the background.

#BirdOfTheDay theme is #LargeBirdsInFlight, alt theme is #Gulls, set by @robcrank68.bsky.social

A #cormorant is bigger than a duck, right? Grey #heron and mute #swan as well.

I'll throw in a #gull in flight for good measure.

Thursday. today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LargeBirdsInFlight. Here is a Great Blue #Heron in #Florida #birds #nature

A Great Blue Heron flies straight towards the camera, looking very much like a dinosaur.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #LargeBirdsInFlight, I could choose a lyrical photo of a #heron soaring across the sky, or I could go for this literal dinosaur yeeting itself at the camera. My choice is clear.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay from Rob is #LargeBirdsInFlight so I've got to go with my husband's photos of a #Buzzard a #Heron and the amazing #WhitTailedEagle, then I'll throw in my pathetic photo of the #RedKite 🤷

Good morning everybody - and may your Wednesday be as lucky as the Grey Herons hunt for a breakfast.
