A Day in the Life of a Great Blue Heron
.
It’s morning, time to wake up, Great Blue Heron.
You’ve got a lot to do today….
.
.
Standing on those nice long legs….
.
.
Fishing all day….
.
.
With a dagger beak…
.
.
Successfully…
.
.
While protecting your fishing territory….
.
.
Or maybe some courtship….
.
.
Got to stay clean with an occasional bath….
.
.
And preen those gorgeous feathers….
.
.
While flying around from favorite spot to favorite spot…..
.
.
Or sometimes just resting and enjoying the big view….
.
.
And as the busy day comes to an end, feeling sleepy and ready for the night’s rest….
.
.
A lot goes on in the day of the life of the Great Blue Heron.
