Which park would have water likely to have a blue heron walking arround?
Which park would have water likely to have a blue heron walking arround?
That is a great question, although you could potentially see a Great Blue Heron flying over any park. Your best bets, in no particular order, would be the following parks: Headwaters Park, Bass Lake Preserve, Walter C. Best Wildlife Preserve, Claridon Woodlands, The Rookery and Burton Wetlands Preserve. Other options might be Eldon Russell Park and Beartown Lakes Reservation. As long as there’s open water, you’ll have a good change of seeing them wading along the edge, but these birds will head south for easier food sources once the water starts freezing up.
Good luck!
