Little Blue Heron


The Little Blue Heron is a wading bird about 30 inches tall. They have long yellow-green legs that blend into the roots and grasses when wading. Their long toes enable them to walk over top of thick patches of water grass. >>>

They eat the usual assortment of bugs, minnows, lizards, shrimp, frogs, crawdads, and snakes that feed so many creatures in the marsh.

The Little Blue hunts in mixed groups of birds or alone, but not in a flock of his own kind.
