What’s the most obvious difference between adult little blue herons and their chicks?
A Their calls
B Their diets
C Their colors
In the first year of a little blue heron’s life, it has white feathers. This helps the chick blend in with other, more numerous marsh birds with white coloration, such as cattle egrets. Mixing with members of a large group increases the odds that the herons will survive to adulthood. Only the adults have the rich blue plumage, which can include deep purple feathers around the head.
How do little blue herons hunt for food?
A By ambushing prey
B Through relentless pursuit
C By stealing from other birds
Like other herons, these small predators use the sit-and-wait method, similar to many spiders, cats, and even sea stars. The little blue heron will stand still in shallow water and wait for prey to wander close enough and … snap! The unsuspecting insect, fish, or amphibian is gobbled up and the heron returns to stillness, waiting for its next meal to come along.
Where do little blue herons nest?
A In large colonies
B In small, isolated groups
C They don’t nest
Little blue herons build platform nests in trees and brush near lake shores, alongside many other little blue herons. And they live in close quarters with more than just their own species. These marsh dwellers often blend in with snowy or cattle egret colonies, living by the ‘safety in numbers’ rule.
