Blue Heron
Egretta Coerulea

Hi! I’m the Blue Heron, My lenght is about 56 centimetrers and I live exclusively in the north of Chile and very few of my species live in the south. I have a bluish grey beak with black on its top. I have a dark bluish-grey body, with my neck and head being dark bluish-purple, and my feet are black.

I’m more related to water, that’s why I live in oasis, lagoons and edges of lakes, there, I can show my excellent hunting skills, I’m fast and accurate, I have binocular visión, which aids me calculate my preys. Also, i have an “S” shaped neck so i can make a surprising and fast attack. My long fingers help me to grip on uneven terrain, giving me stability while walking.
