I was walking along the river when I caught sight of this bird of the week, the Great Blue Heron. This large, grayish-blue wading bird is widespread in the United States. This is not the first time I have seen one along the Kanawha River. They eat fish primarily but may also dine on invertebrates, reptiles, smaller birds, and small mammals. The Great Blue Heron uses its long beak as a spear to catch its prey.
