As long as there is some open water with prey items available in VA  some  
Great Blue Herons will be around I do not know the temp level of below (x) 
degrees for at least (x) days that makes them go away . There are always at 
least 8 Great Blues reported in Rockbridge County Christmas bird count. My 
grandparents on both sides of my family are from there and we get the local 
paper which publishes the results each year. I saw one in Buffalo Creek in 
Rockbridge County in January two years ago near Murat, VA. Great Blue Herons 
have been thriving and reclaming ground lost even 100 years ago. We must still 
be vigilant in habitat protection. Many like lakes built in developments as 
long as there is a non built on area or island people do not go on. The lake at 
West Creek Office Park has a bunch that are pretty tolerant of people. In the 
late 1990's or in the year 2000 Smithsonian Magazine did a large article on how 
well Great Blue Herons are doing.
Sincerely,

Tyler Turpin

I was in Washington County, VA canoeing on the Middle Fork of the Holston
river when I rounded a bend and there before us was a Great Blue.  He
flew into a tree on the bank and watched us paddle past.  I grew up near
the Middle Fork near Abingdon - never seen a heron in that part of the
world before.
