Great Blue Heron

// June 29th, 2010 // Birds of Manitoba, Boreal Forest, Whiteshell Provincial Park

These are truly beautiful birds found at marshes in Manitoba.  They will eat fish, frogs and insects which they catch with their long spear-like beak.  In flight, they tuck their head back towards the body and fly with their feet extended – easy to identify on a fly by. These photos were taken in the Whiteshell Provincial Park.

Enjoy!
