I spotted a Great Blue Heron last week in a nearby marsh, and was inspired by this class to learn more about this species. I started paying attention to the tide charts for my area, and read about GBH feeding habits, and am now trying to use that to predict when he'll be there again. The last few mornings I saw him there 1 to 4 hours after low tide, but this morning I was there an hour before low tide and he wasn't there. As I was leaving I saw him in a different spot, not in the marsh, but way out at the tide line of the beach. Now I am wondering if he goes up to the marsh only after low tide. Will have to keep checking to find out. This photo was taken four hours after low tide.
