Great Blue Herons
Feathered Friday is hosted by @melinda010100. My #featheredfriday bird is the majestic Great Blue Heron.
A while ago I took a road trip into Charlottetown and stopped at a marsh were I often see the Blue Herons.
At the marsh on the outskirts of the city; Great Blue Herons wading in the water.

The Great Blue Heron is a wading bird and can be found near the shores in wetlands. I see them here in PEI in the summer when they return from their winter in the South.
Location: Prince Edward Island, Canada
Photos were taken by me at different times.

Hi Redheadpei, you live in a very beautiful part of the world. I really enjoyed your many photos of the great blue heron.
Thanks Angie. I’m glad you enjoyed the photos. I love seeing the great blue heron. Even in flight they look awesome.
Wow, look at the size, must be quite big in size!
Yes they are big. The wing span is sometimes over 6 ft. They can fly at a cruise of 20 to 30 (48 km) miles per hour.
Wow, that is really big!
The herons are awesome, aren't they? I love to watch them catching fish.
Lovely shots of that marvelous bird! They are often pretty shy, aren't they? Thanks for posting to #featheredfriday!
Thanks Melinda. It’s hard t get a closeup as they are easily scared and take off.
Those guys are amazing birds, incredible fishermen! lol. I wondered if they headed South and you confirmed it. I reckon most smart creatures in Canada head South for the winter!
They are smart birds alright for heading to Canada for the summer. 😂
haha! yes very true! I wish I could do that!
