Great Blue Heron Book for Kids

From quiet wades to lightning-fast strikes, great blue herons are built for life in shallow waters across North and Central America. Kids will discover how their long legs, “S”-shaped necks, and sharp beaks help them find and catch prey—and why herons are symbols of healthy wetlands.

• Great blue herons stand over 4 feet tall with wingspans nearly 6 feet wide.
• They wade slowly through lakes, rivers, and marshes, then spear fish and frogs with a sharp beak.
• Their necks rest in an “S” shape and shoot forward in a blur to grab prey.
• They often hunt alone but nest high in trees together in large groups called rookeries.
• In flight, herons tuck their necks, trail long legs behind, and glide with deep, steady wingbeats.

Printed in an 8.25" x 8.25" paperback on premium paper with large, full-color photos, this engaging Great Blue Heron Book for Kids makes nature study inspiring, vivid, and fun.
