an established population, ranging north to Alaska, and as far south
as Central America. Standing four feet tall, this majestic bird has
a seven-foot wing span. Its plumage flows over chest and back accenting
a black crest. During flight, the neck draws over the back in a 's'
shape while the feet trail behind, acting as rudders. The heron frequents
shallow waters along the edges, of ponds, ocean bays, or small streams.
There it finds a preferred diet of frogs, minnows, and insects. Gracefully
wading or poised, statue-like, the moment of stillness is suddenly punctuated
by the lightening quick thrust of the heron’s beak catching its prey. The Artist: "I have spent many a transfixed hour watching the graceful movements of the Blue Heron. This bird glides in a swirling, unified motion that is almost feline... until it spots its underwater prey and strikes. I cannot imagine a swifter motion and it is no wonder that with such graet accuracy, this large bird can sustain itself. When I am with friends or family, their relief is unconcealed when the Heron finally takes flight. Yes, we can move and talk now! But I can't leave the spot until the last wing stroke is visible in the distance. such a graceful and beautifully marked bird is a treasure of our Florida shoreline" |
