I observed a GBH on the water and enjoyed watching those long legs come out
of the water as it took off. They can do this but I think you should
consider yourself fortunate to observe it.
Spend enough time 'in the field' and you see all kinds of strange stuff.
For example, I have seen or heard three large trees or big branches fall in
the woods this spring, and NOT all on windy days - go figure!

Subject: [Ohio-birds] Great blue heron behavior
So far three responders have answered that they have seen the birds land on
water. One said that it floated for 2 or 3 minutes and another said they
were offshore Lake Erie and another person wrote that one landed on a small
pond for a few seconds. I guess this is not a common thing to see but not
extremely rare either.
Thanks
