Great blue herons typically breed from March to May in the northern part of their range and November through April in the southern hemisphere. Females lay between 2 and 7 pale blue eggs. Birds living further north tend to have more eggs. Both parents incubate the eggs, which means that the parents take turns sitting on the nest to keep the eggs warm until they hatch. The eggs hatch after 26 to 30 days of incubation. After living in the nest for about 2 months, the babies (called chicks) are ready to fledge, which means they are old enough to leave the nest and survive on their own. Herons become sexually mature when they are about 22 months of age. (Ferguson, 1998)
