Herons resemble other bird families, such as storks and cranes, but are distinguished by their flight style: unlike most birds, herons fly with their necks retracted. There are 64 different species of heron, from the 12-inch tall "little bittern" to the Goliath heron, which can be as tall as five feet. A group of herons is called a "siege".
