Why would I see a Blue Heron in Geauga County in the last 2 weeks? I have never seen them this time of year.
As long as the winter here in Northeast Ohio continues to have periods of mild weather, the chance of seeing a Great Blue Heron is pretty good. Herons only migrate as far south as they need to in order to find open water in which to fish. During very cold, wintery periods, they will fly south, then travel north again as things here warm and thaw.
