Jorgensen, S.E., et al., 1991.

dry weight/wet weight ratio (dw/ww) = 0.35

gramms of carbon/gramms of dry weight = 0.45

Biomass per bird = 2390 g (wet weight)

Dunning, J.B. Jr., 1993

Dry season = 2.40E-07 birds / m²

Wet Season = 8.06E-08 birds / m²

Kushlan, J.A., 1978.

*Because wading birds seem to be underestimated compared to woodstork biomass in the Browder thesis, we tripled the number of birds in the above reference

Great Blue Herons consume: Crayfish, Apple Snails, Freshwater Prawns, Aquatic Invertebrates, Terrestrial Invertebrates, Small Herbivorous and Omnviorous Fish, Small Predatory Fish, Large Fish, Alligators, Lizards, Snakes, Salamanders, Medium Frogs, Small Frogs, Omnivorous Passrines, Predatory Passerines and Mice and Rats.
