A heron does. Herons are leggy, mostly long-necked wading birds.
Long legs allow herons to wade into lakes and ponds in search of food.
Long, thin toes help them walk on the soft, mucky lake bottom without sinking or getting stuck. Heron nests are easy to spot in early spring before the trees leaf out. Three great rookeries are Kabekona rookery southwest of LaPorte on Minnesota 64, Madden s rookery north of Brainerd on County 77, and Pigeon Lake rookery south of Dassel on Minnesota 15. This nesting place is called a rookery . Herons use dry twigs to build their sloppy nests.
