Description
Although most great blue herons migrate south from Ohio during the cold winter months, a few decide to stay behind and brave the cold. This one was in the remnants of the Ohio and Erie Canal adjacent to the Beaver Marsh on a cold, February day. He strolled back toward the marsh, presumably looking for a break in the ice to fish through. A few minutes later he flew off to a place near the edge of the marsh that was clear of ice. And, a few days later, a warming trend began to melt large areas of the ice, greatly enhancing his odds of getting through the winter.
The Beaver Marsh is part of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and is on land reclaimed from industrial use and allowed to return to nature.
