Field Notes

Description:

I continue to see herons at this pond. There are at least two different birds because I have seen them there together.

Habitat:

Look for Great Blue Herons in saltwater and freshwater habitats, from open coasts, marshes, sloughs, riverbanks, and lakes to backyard goldfish ponds

Notes:

Spotted at a wooded detention/retention pond in an office building complex in Kennesaw, GA
