Great Blue Heron Natural Pond Habitat Stock Photography

Alert and on guard for potential food source in a NYS swamp setting-a natural water habitat for this giant bird. This stately heron with its subtle blue-gray plumage often stands motionless as it scans for prey or wades belly deep with long, deliberate steps. They may move slowly, but Great Blue Herons can strike like lightning to grab a fish or snap up a gopher. Neck feathers camouflage on stalks of swamp grass and feather color is similar to deadwood.
