i live in greensburg indiana, and i have 30 if not moe great blue herons that just showed up out by my pond one day. I have never seen this many together could someone please explain these great birds to me?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Crazy67 ( talk • contribs) 02:18, 2 March 2007 (UTC).
I had seen great blues before but recently saw one with a major grey hairy-looking beard. I had difficulty with identification because no bearded ones are in the illustrations. Please add a bearded great blue to illustrations. Also why are some bearded and some not? Text suggest additional feathers during breeding season but does not address the beard.

I live in Beamsville Ontario, there is a small creek at the back of our yard. We have a resident Blue Heron who shows up most days even now in winter time. This Heron is always alone so don't know if he or she has a mate somewhere around. Can anyone advise how to tell difference between male/female Blue Herons,are they usually in pairs or is this the case only during the mating season. Any info appreciated; John 24.36.197.170 ( talk) 20:13, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Im in London Ont, we are close to a creek (stoney creek) that a blue heron frequently visits (mostly dusk/dawn). sorry to say, i cant tell the sex either. The one we see is ALWAYS alone.`. im not even sure when mating season is. Ive never seen them in pairs ever. There is quite a few in st marys also.. good luck — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.250.26.211 ( talk) 13:01, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
I think the colours in the map are wrong. Yellow is breeding, green the year round and blue only winter.-- 88.5.134.155 ( talk) 22:22, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

The current image of the 'dark form near Tarpon Springs, Florida' , is what I'm talking about. Though I'm inexperienced with the white morph, I'm wondering why this is not an intermediate morph? It has a lot more white than most Great Blue Herons that I regularly see in the Northeast. Do other birders have insight? Aythya affinis ( talk) 15:35, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

A gallery is not a tool to shoehorn images into an article, and a gallery consisting of an indiscriminate collection of images of the article subject should generally either be improved in accordance with the below paragraphs or moved to Wikimedia Commons. [...] A gallery section may be appropriate in some Wikipedia articles if a collection of images can illustrate aspects of a subject that cannot be easily or adequately described by text or individual images
