Great blue herons typically require a nesting territory of about 1 to 4 acres, depending on the availability of food and habitat quality. They prefer to nest in colonies near water sources, such as lakes, rivers, or marshes, where they can access fish and other prey. Adequate space is essential for avoiding competition and ensuring that they have enough resources for feeding and breeding. Additionally, their foraging range can extend up to several miles from their nesting sites.
Common over much of North America, great blue herons can be found around lakes, rivers, swamps, and coastal marshes. Sometimes visits ornamental fish ponds near homes.
In general, ducks and blue herons do not interact much with each other unless there is competition for resources such as food or nesting sites. Blue herons are known to be aggressive towards ducks if they feel threatened or if they perceive them as competition. Ducks may try to avoid blue herons to minimize conflict.
the great blue herons lay about 3 through 7 eggs they lay 1 egg the first day 2 eggs the second day and 2 the next day and the next day 2 again, but the great blue herons stay on the eggs till all the eggs hatch if some hatch and some are left overs they wait till all of the eggs are hatched and feed them.(they switch every few times the male sits on the eggs and the female sits on the eggs) the parents wait till there young great blue heron has its feathers all grown then the will start to get up and start to walk with their baby chicks following behind themI HOPE YOU LIKE IT
