Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) - 16Feb2016 & 18Apr2019

My friend Greg calls these prehistoric herons "Honkeycronks" because of the loud call they make when forced to leave their perch.  They are impressive in the prey they can take including small rodents and frogs.


Here is one of the sub-species called Great White Heron seen in Rio Lagartos, Yucatan MX. Note the yellow legs compared to the black ones of Great Egrets.
