Blue Heron Display Canvas Print

This Great Blue Heron was displaying to either intimidate another heron that came too close or was trying to attract a mate. It was hard to tell as the other heron who was also fluffed all up and holding his head straight and very stiff finally flew away.
The Great Blue Heron is one of the largest North American heron. The head-to-tail length 36 to54 inches, a wingspan of 66 to 79 inches and weigh from 4 to 8 lbs.
The Great blue herons have gray with a slight blue feather, reddish brown thighs. The neck is rusty-gray with black and white streak down the front. The head is a lighter shade with a nearly white face and a pair of black or gray plumes runs from just above the eye to the back of the head. The feathers on the lower neck are long and plume-like. It also has plumes on the lower back during the breeding season.

It is an incredibly beautiful world out there. Our goal is to try to capture some of it in our images. Living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest we never lack for places to shoot. But never pass up the chance to visit all the many other beautiful places this world has to offer. Along with all the wonderful creatures, large and small. We have also been blessed with many wonderful photographic adventures to some awesome places which we are happy to share with you. If you see any photo on our website or my Facebook page that isn't in our galleries that you would like see here please send me a private message by clicking the link above. I will always try to make all of my images available. Dotty of WesDotPhotography
