Great Blue Heron

 

One of the most regular visitors to the golf course each day is the Great Blue Heron, one of the three largest herons in the world.  We think that more than one heron visits the course in search of food, primarily fish, and the large one stands 1.3m (4.5 ft) high.  Although they feed at the golf course, they nest elsewhere, usually in colonies in trees over water.
