A great blue heron (Ardea herodias) faces a juvenile great egret (Ardea alba), Aug. 29, 2014, in Bayou La Batre, Alabama. Great blue herons are the largest herons native to North America. They are found throughout most of North America, as far north as Alaska and the southern Canadian provinces in the summer. In winter, the range extends south through Florida, Mexico, and the Caribbean to South America. Great blue herons rarely venture far from bodies of water, but are occasionally seen flying over upland areas. The great egret is a large white heron frequently found in coastal areas. It is the official symbol of the National Audubon Society. (Photo by Carmen K. Sisson/Cloudybright)
