In olden days people saw Heron as some of the saddest, wretched, depressed creatures. Perhaps they just saw themselves reflected?

Today people who stop to watch describe us as meditating, thoughtful, wise, and seeing the world better than most. Again, reflections. 💙 (1804)

HERON.

COMMON HERON, HERONSEWGH, OR HERONSHAW.

(Ardea Major, Lin. - Le Heron hupé, Buff.)

ALTHOUGH the Heron is of a long, lank, auk- ward ſhape, yet its plumage gives it on the whole an agreeable appearance; but when ſtripped of its

The Heron is defcribed by Buffon as exhibiting the picture of wretchedneſs, anxiety, and indigence, condemned to ſtruggle perpetually with mifery and want, and fickened by the reſtleſs cravings of a famiſhed appetite, &c. However faithful this in- genious naturaliſt may have been in pourtraying the appearance of the Heron, yet others are not in- clined to adopt his fentiments in defcribing its habits and manners, or to agree with him in opinion that it is one of the moſt wretched of animated beings.

It is probable that it fuffers no more than other birds, many fpecies of which employ equal atten- tion in looking for their prey, and it is not un- likely that the Heron derives pleaſure from it in- ſtead of pain. This bird, however, is of a melan- choly deportment, a filent and patient creature; and will, in the moſt ſevere weather, ſtand motionleſs a long time in the water, fixed to a ſpot, in appear- ance like the ſtump or root of a tree, waiting for its prey, which conſiſts of frogs, water-newts, eels, and other kinds of fish; and it is alſo ſaid that it will devour field-mice.

Interesting lettuce boats. Reminded Every of

The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.

If you'd prefer your nesting to involve Herons on your walls and on your sheets then these look like a beautiful option #HeronArt 🎨
