Description
“Great Blue Heron Nesting Flight with Watercolor Background” by Patti Deters. This lone Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) was tirelessly flying back and forth collecting sticks to bring back to his partner for spring nest-building. During nesting season, Great Blue Herons (GBH) gather together in colonies often in swamps or on islands with tall or dead trees. GBH tend to colonize near eagles because of mafia-like protection from the eagles – predators are scarred off, even though the eagles prey on some of the herons. GBH are the largest North American heron, with slate blue gray feathers, a white head, and yellow orange beaks. These skittish waterbirds are generally found standing very still alongside rivers, ponds, lakeshores. They can also be seen in flight as they gracefully soar high in the sky with wide wings and their neck tucked into their shoulders, as can be seen in this image. Presented on a hand painted textured watercolor background. If you like this image, please share and enjoy more (animal, wildlife, digital art, and more) images at http://patti-deters.pixels.com.
