Hunting Great Blue Herons wade slowly or stand statue-like, stalking fish and other prey in shallow water or open fields. Watch for the lightning-fast thrust of the neck and head as they stab with their strong bills. Their very slow wing beats, tucked-in neck and trailing legs create an unmistakable image in flight. <br /> This Great Blue, in breeding plumage is in the midst of a shake and resettling of its feathers.
