COLORFUL HERONS
Herons can be seen at almost any place where there is water. The big blue
heron seen in the picture is the tallest wild bird in North America. Blue
herons, whose color is so striking, live alone apart from when they make
their nests.
The nesting places where herons congregate are usually in remote hidden
areas that are hard for humans to reach. Hank herons, another heron
species, have various colors during spring. New colors appear around the
bright beaks of the adults only during nesting time.
Allah created birds in very different colors. We enjoy looking at the eye-
catching colors in a bird's feathers.
This wide variety of colors in birds is
one of the proofs of Allah's marvelous
