Every other Friday, we share original content written by the Flying Colors team, fascinating stories & tidbits from the world of birding, curated products, epic bird photos, and more.
A Great Blue Heron soaring silently through a dusky sky is always a majestic sight. They can be spotted slowly stepping with purpose on the edges of all kinds of fresh and salty waterways, diligently searching for fish, amphibians, and even rodents to spear with their deadly beaks.
While these birds with blue-gray feathers stand up to 4.5 feet tall and can have a wingspan of 6.5 feet, they’re surprisingly light, weighing only about six pounds (thanks to their hollow bones, which all birds share).
Fun fact: Great Blue Herons have excellent night vision, and can hunt 24/7.
