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 don't flap.
They leave that most vulgar way of flying to the birds.

On the ground, the Great Blue Heron is not the world's most beautiful bird. Let's face it, they're funny looking! But in the air, soaring with that 7 to 8 foot wingspan, that disappears-- and what I see is one of the world's most beautiful, graceful birds in flight.

I am nothing
But a prayer
To catch a fish.
A hush of air -
A bloom of cloud
On a tilting stalk.

There's a lot to a Least
A lot more than many
Imagine
It's way more than zero
Not much less than great
~ A Poem by Every upon the Least Bittern, 30cm long, about the size of a pigeon.

This is the only Least Bittern I have photographed in my life. This is the smallest member of the heron family, and its conservation status is of Least Concern. Bosque del Apache, New Mexico. For the #least theme of #BirdOfTheDay #EastCoastKin #birds

Sometimes you're Heroneering without even realising.
Only to discover later, that you were in a Heronful moment.
Never assume no Heron! #HeroneerTipOfTheDay

I didn’t even notice the blue heron camouflaged under a bush until I started editing later on. Trail to Glass Beach in the fog.

We don't call it a Beakspear for nothing... Beware sharp points!
Great Blue Heron showing great focus towards nabbing the next meal. I never realized just how sharp the tips of their beaks were until I got a closer look. 🪶 #birdwatching

It may look like a chaotic landing, but this Heron knows what it's doing.
Flying through autumn, won't be long 'til we land in winter. Grey Heron on the River Kelvin in Glasgow. #birds

Fancy Pondering Posts that provide here. The curve really sets up our good looks.
Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social has decided today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #StandingOnThings except the Floor, and the Alternative is #Gulls
We often see a Great Blue #Heron on different lamp posts!

Cattle Egret are happy to stand on anything... Cattle, Hippo, Elephant, Buffalo, Goat 🐐
Today was spent around Tamri on Morocco Winter Sun Birding with @naturetrek.bsky.social. A mix of Herons inc 2 Squaccos, Great White & 'goat egret'. Plentiful Gulls with lots of Audouin's, many of them were ringed, & they were joined by Slender-billed and Mediterranean. Moussier's as usual!

So much about Agami Heron is at the extreme end of Heronkind, including their Zoooop!
It's difficult to frame these videos to capture when they extend their necks. They're very long and they can really extend them.
