Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) in Long Point this month. Herons, like all Birds, are surprisingly light because of hollow, lightweight bones among other adaptations. Although Herons can be over a meter tall and have 2 meter wingspans they weigh a maximum of about 6 pounds. . . . . . . . #nature #ontario #greatblueheron #heron #heronsofinstagram #ardeaherodias #ardea #ardeidae #blueheron #heronphotography #heronphoto #birdsextreme #birdsinflightphotography #nature_obsession #wildlifephotos #longpointontario #spottedinlongpoint #norfolkwild #blognorfolk #gonorfolk #birdfact #beautifulnaturephotography (at Long Point National Biosphere) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQau06xgcz1/?utm_medium=tumblr
