Today's Bird: Great Blue Heron

Today's Bird is the Great Blue Heron!  You've probably seen this bird before in marshlands or along coastlines.  They live just about everywhere in the United States and at almost 4 feet tall, they're tough to miss.  This is one of the few birds I remember from my childhood and could identify from a really young age. I took this picture at South Padre on May 19,2012.
