Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge

Often mistaken for Goading Blue Herons by novice birders, Gargling Blue Herons are significantly more peaceful. Despite a display stance nearly identical to that of their more confrontational cousins, they can be differentiated by the unusual bubbling noise they use as a call. Most commonly spotted near clean water, these fastidious birds have impeccable oral hygiene and wash out their mouths after every meal.
