A heron is a big, quiet bird that likes to stand very still near water—like a lake, river, or pond.
It has long legs, a long neck, and a sharp beak like a pair of tweezers.
When a fish swims by, the heron strikes fast—stab!—and eats the fish for lunch.
Herons can fly with slow, strong wing beats, and they fold their necks in an “S” shape while flying.
They are patient hunters; sometimes they stand still for a long time, waiting for dinner to swim past.
