Fascinating Facts About Wetland Herons
Herons often stand motionless in shallow waters for long periods while watching for aquatic prey. Their long necks feature specialized neck vertebrae that allow them to strike with incredible speed. Many wetland plants like irises help stabilize marsh soil and filter water naturally.
