The bird in the image is a Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias). It’s a large wading bird commonly found near shores, rivers, lakes, and wetlands throughout much of North America. Some key identifying features visible in the image: • Long, slender neck in an S-curve. • Sharp, pointed bill. • Grayish-blue plumage with a black stripe over the eye. • Long legs adapted for wading in shallow water. These birds are excellent fishers and often stand still for long periods, waiting to strike quickly at prey. Let me know if you’d like more information about their habitat, behavior, or range.

A Red-tailed Hawk perched on a mossy tree branch, facing backward but looking over its shoulder. The hawk’s brown and tan feathers are sharply detailed, and a background of green foliage provides a natural setting.

A white egret stands on a partially submerged tree stump in a calm, reflective body of water, intently looking at a small animal—possibly a frog or fish—just ahead of it. The egret and stump are clearly reflected in the still water.
