- A group of Great Blue Heron are called a; Battery / Hedge / Pose / Rockery / Scattering.
- I like a Pose. This bird when seen seems to always be posing. Although it has several very interesting poses.
- These birds love fish farms, this can be a problem but studies have shown that they pick off the sick. So it works out for the hatchery.
- They have a great appetite for fish of all sizes and have been known to chok themselves to death on too large a meal. Yikes.
- They will also eat small mammals , frogs, snakes, insects and so on, what they can find when fish aren't available.
- These birds nest in trees. It is very odd seeing a bird of this size land in a tree. The nests are in groups called a Heronry. the Heron is very temperamental and do not like to be disturbed when nesting. If they are they could abandon the nest. When I was young there was a Heronry on the river and we were not allowed down there until late spring after the Herons had left the nest.
- Here are some poses.
