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)

@robcrank68.bsky.social has set today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme as #CollectingFood, birds with food in their beaks. This juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron caught a Black Bullhead, but that was just the beginning of the struggle. Those fine spines are no joke! #birds #digiscoping

Two herons at WWT Barnes last Saturday: Bob the famous heron from the otters’ pen, and a younger heron who appears to be sunbathing. Feels a bit early in the year for that. I think I can also see another heron in the background to photo 2.

Bare-Throated Tiger Heron.
The most ancient of the Heron lines. And yet so sophisticated a fashion sense:

Larry Heron doing the Larry thing.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay prompt is #CollectingFood (birds with food in their beaks), so here is Larry, one of the local #GreatBlueHerons, keeping down the invasive goldfish population. (There are multiple Larrys, but no one will admit that.)

A very successful Heron found across the whole of sub-Saharan Africa.
Loves grassland and open savanna, and happy in urban areas where it nests using human activities for protection from predators.
Feeds on worms, scorpions, rats and frog. 🪱 🦂 🐀 🐸

Choosing the day to lay your eggs is life and death, risk and reward. Do you risk laying early - to give your chicks a head start over others and the longest time to mature before the next winter?
Blue herons nesting in a cottonwood tree. Hopefully no eggs yet with the cold weather coming.

The diversity of feather types that make up a Heron nicely on show
Every feather unique.
Each with its own role.

The dogs and I went up north to owl watch on the last sunny day before weather moves in. A sharp, cold wind kept owl flights to a minimum while the harriers and herons enjoyed a vile feast. Here is my favorite young heron- it talks to itself, making it easy to ID. 🪶 1/ @everyheron.bsky.social

North London, pouring with rain. 🌧️ A Grey Heron flies low up a street, sailing directly over Every, and turns into a house. Upon investigation, we discover a pond, a plastic Heron, and the Grey Heron. 🔊 #HeronsAtTheMovies

Ancient Heronlore...
If the water is deep enough for your reflection then it's deep enough for fish.
If you see your reflection
The day will soon be fine
If you see your reflection
Then fish will soon be thine

A sad Heron story for our times. #HeronHeroes 1/2 🧵
When the so called ‘black heron’ showed up in Louisiana last month, I instantly knew it was covered in pollution. I emailed authorities and they assured me it was healthy - though it died shortly after smelling strongly of creosote. I’ve been haunted since then
