Description Of The Environment

The Gray Heron is a bird that lives in wetlands, such as marshes, lakes and rivers. It feeds mainly on small fish, but can also feed on frogs and insects. Gray herons have a gray-brown color on their backs and heads with darker shades around their eyes and neck. They have a long white tail and yellowish legs. Most gray herons nest near fresh or salt water and build their nests high in trees or on artificial platforms near water.
