They are every where. Deep in the desert near imperial tx, they were raiding my friend’s shrimp ponds. On the beach at Corpus, I was throwing them cat fish to keep them out of my bait. I’ve seen them in the Sierra and on both coasts.I'm in metro Atlanta, this bird photo was on my game cam by a creek, in the woods.
I thought Blue Herons were a marsh habitat bird along the coast line?
In 40 years here Ive never seen a Heron on this property, that's why I wanted a second opinion.
