This is how we learn. We saw this majestic bird over the weekend and followed her around (Little Ms.N decided it had to be a girl because she was so pretty). Then we got back home and "researched" about blue herons while the pictures were being loaded onto the computer :)
Did you know their wing span can reach up to 6 feet wide!
Did you know great blue herons can live up to 15 years? Adults have a blue plume on their heads. This one was probably a young juvie!
Did you know herons are called "stand-and-wait-predators" that remain motionless for long periods of time?

We absolutely LOVED the natural learning experience and will be looking to do more of this soon!
