Description
Blue Heron Family - We captured this at a rookery out in the Gulf of Mexico with thousand of birds nesting in the past. The rookeries are protected and you can only view from a distance in a boat and you will need to bring a long lens as you are not allowed on the island. These proud parents were on the very top of the rookery with their two fledgling. There were many small islands in the gulf of Mexico made up of bird rookery there is safety in numbers. We found out from our guide that coastal bird like to build nests with blue herons because they can be aggressive toward predators and he has seen them chase off fox and birds of prey. In this moment the baby bird is being fed by one of the parents, slightly after this the other bird flys off to pick up more food for these hungry baby birds. The Great Blue Heron is perhaps the most familiar wading bird in North Americas.You can see blue herons along any water ways including your backyard fish koi pond.
