Inspiration in Algonquin: The Great Blue Heron

The park’s wetlands wouldn’t be the same without their iconic bird, the Great Blue Heron. As one of the largest herons in North America, the Blue Heron is frequently spotted wading through the wetland shallows, hunting for frogs and fish with lightning-quick movements. Herons typically nest in colonies and roost in treetops near wetland areas, which allow easy access to food sources.
