The small white heron and the small dark heron are long-legged birds that live in wetlands, like the Everglades in Florida. Laura D'Acunto and colleagues wanted to know how these birds choose an area in which to live. They looked at features of the birds' habitats, such as the geographic location of the area and how deep the water is during breeding season. They found that although only small white herons prefer areas with deep water during breeding season, both small white herons and small dark herons prefer areas that have standing water for more than 60 days per year. The researchers therefore concluded that neither species is very drawn to areas where _____

there is standing water for far fewer than 60 days per year.

species with breeding seasons longer than 60 days are likely to be present.

there are any features that attract the other species.

there is relatively deep water during the breeding season.
