A Great BLUE Heron must be a "he". A Great PINK Heron would be a "she".

**Possibly** during a brief stretch when they are mating, if you are an

ornithologist, you may **perhaps** distinguish the sexes. For the rest of

any GBH is a "she". Calling that bird a "she" was strictly your own personal

prejudice. There is absolutely no scientific basis for this, though. Nor

merit, for that matter. Mike Healy >>
