Historic Carroll County Sanctuary Protects Blue Heron Rookery

"Great Blue Heron" by Susan Morrison

Blue herons spend much of their lives standing very still in streams and rivers in search of fresh fish. However, herons nest in "rookeries" high in riparian treetops. We take you to a private Ozarks heron rookery closely monitored by noted wildlife artist Susan Morrison.

Jacqueline Froelich is an investigative reporter and news producer for Ozarks at Large.
