Fun Fact

Despite their large size, they only weigh between 5 and six pounds. * Great Blue Herons hunt day and night as they have a high percentage of rod-type photoreceptors in their eyes that improve night vision. * With their specially shaped neck vertebrae, Great Blue Herons quickly strike prey from a distance.
