Located on Bath Road between Akron-Peninsula and Riverview roads, the Bath Road Heronry is a great place to photograph the great blue heron. This magnificent bird has a 70-inch wingspan, a blue-gray back, and a white crown and face. The herons nest in colonies where they mate, raise their young, and often times roost for the year.

We were en route, so this is the best shot we could get from the wayside.
