Download or read book The Great Blue Heron written by Robert William Butler and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its striking plumage, the great blue heron is one of the most widely recognized wading birds in North America. Riding on kelp beds in the Queen Charlotte Islands, wading in coastal streams along the mainland, poised motionless at the water's edge on a misty morning, or nesting in the limbs of old-growth forests, this stately bird is a familiar sight on the coast of British Columbia. The largest colonies are on the Fraser River delta, an area of great ecological significance to the north Pacific. Despite a growing body of knowledge regarding many aspects of the species' breeding biology and courtship behaviour, the foraging and population ecology of this bird remains something of an enigma. In his beautifully illustrated book, Robert Butler follows the great blue heron through a year on the coast of British Columbia. He draws on more than a decade of work to throw light on the adaptability of this magnificent bird to a temperate climate, its diet and breeding habits, habitat use, and conservation. Although the great blue heron has become a symbol of wetland conservation, in recent years it has had to face new challenges as a consequence of rapid urbanization of its environment. In The Great Blue Heron the author also describes the B.C. coast and shares a vision for the conservation of the Strait of Georgia and the Fraser River delta.

Book excerpt: The Blue Heron Wetland Restoration Project (BHWRP) is an ongoing community driven effort to eradicate Ludwigia peploides ssp. montevidensis from a 3.5 acre ephemeral wetland in Portland, OR. Established in summer 2011 by the East Columbia Neighborhood Association (ECNA), the BHWRP consisted of an herbicide efficacy pilot study, widespread eradication effort, and establishment of a stewardship program. Ludwigia peploides ssp. montevidensis is an emerging threat to northwestern Oregon and the infestation within the Blue Heron Wetlands (BHW) represented one of the first known infestations of L. peploides ssp. montevidensis within the State of Oregon. First observed within the BHW in 2004, L. peploides ssp. montevidensis rapidly colonized 2.4 acres of wetland habitat, reduced native floral diversity and minimized resources for wildlife. In fear of continued impact to wildlife and increased likelihood of wetland flooding, an integrated pest management strategy involving chemical and manual removal was implemented to eradicate L. peploides ssp. montevidensis from the BHW. The initial pilot study of 2011 tested glyphosate and triclopyr at relatively low concentrations within the wetlands. To improve results of L. peploides spp. motevidensis control, an increased concentration of 3% glyphosate was applied to the infestation on September 26, 2012 and August 8, 2013. Application of 3% glyphosate provided adequate control to populations of L. peploides ssp. montevidensis that were flowering at time of herbicide application. Outreach and education carried out by the BHWRP successfully identified and trained a core group of East Columbia residents to carryout long-term management of the L. peploides ssp. montevidensis infestation.
