*** About Great Blue Herons: Great Blue Herons are among the most recognizable wading birds in North America. Reaching up to 4.5 feet in height with an impressive wingspan up to 6.6 feet, these majestic birds are known for their striking blue-gray plumage and long, sinuous necks. Often found along coastlines, in marshes, or near the shores of ponds and streams, herons are solitary at most times but come together during the breeding season. They feed mainly on fish but are known to adapt to virtually any wetland habitat in their feeding pursuits. The depiction of these herons in art highlights not only their elegance and poise but also their importance in various cultural myths and legends across the world.
