Wildlife Birds Great Blue Herons In Florida Wetlands

A pair of great blue herons perch on a tree in the Orlando Wetlands in Christmas, Florida, on December 4, 2025. When hunting, these opportunistic birds can stand motionless for long periods, waiting to strike their prey, which can include fish, frogs, snakes, and even small rodents.
