The difference would be that impervious structures and surfaces generally do not allow molecules and compound to be transferred across. It is generally impossible to get something through an impervious surface. This isn't true, however, for pervious surfaces.
Herons are very large birds, and due to their intimidating size, they have very little predators. They have a varied diet and consume many different prey (fish, snakes, amphibians, and probably many other small animals).
