*** About Great Blue Heron: The Great Blue Heron, a majestic wader found throughout North America, is admired for its impressive stature and skillful hunting. Standing up to four feet tall with a wingspan that can reach six feet, this bird is commonly seen along coastlines, in wetlands, and near the shores of ponds and streams. Herons are solitary at most times except during the breeding season. They are known for their slow, deliberate movements and can stand like statues for hours, waiting patiently to spear fish or frogs with their sharp bills. Their presence in art often symbolizes grace, tranquility, and a deep connection to water and the cycles of nature.
