Description
Looking at this image one would assume this Great Blue Heron was perched in some remote, wild area. But in reality this image was made along a busy highway in Morehead City, North Carolina. There is a natural pond next to a medical office buliding that has long attratced herons and egrets. Befpre the office structure was connected it was a popular roosting area for A colony of Great Egrets. While the colony moved to other locations following the construction, individuals frequently visit this tidal pond. It is also not unusual to find a few ducks on the pond. Small, natural oasis such as this are very helpful to wildlife in the sprawling urban landscape.
