Have You Heard About Our Herons?
The Drew Forest provides vital habitat to many water bird species in its two large freshwater ponds, but one of the most recognizable is the heron. Herons are large, majestic wading birds that can be found in various habitats throughout New Jersey, but mainly stick close to bodies of freshwater with areas for wading. Four of the more common and recognizable heron species in the state are the Great Blue Heron, the Great Egret, the Green Heron, and the Tricolored Heron, each of which find perfect hunting ground in the Drew Forest.
