Great Blue Heron Foraging in Wetland Marsh

Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at 10:58:46 PM · 2026/Yolo Bypass Wetlands

A great blue heron wades through shallow wetland waters dotted with cut reed stubble and marsh grass. The large wading bird, with its distinctive blue-gray plumage, stands on the muddy bank with tall green reeds visible in the background. The scene captures a typical wetland habitat during what appears to be late afternoon, with the heron likely hunting for fish or amphibians. Two dark shapes, possibly coots or other waterfowl, are visible in the blurred foreground among the stubble.
