A Heron Hotel


This is a large bird nesting structure at the Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area just east of the Great Salt Lake in Utah. Bird watching is a major avocation around the United States. I am certain that people come here just to watch the birds. These birds are Great Blue Herons or Ardea herodias. Interestingly, some varieties of these birds are white great blue herons. When they are white, they are called Great White Herons. I saw my first great blue heron when I was riding in a boat on Saguaro Lake on the Salt River in Arizona.
