I asked for a GBH sitting on a nest, Thats all I asked for, not a bad job.
My book Great Blue Heron facts and stats will be available from libraries around the world in a week or two.
It will be an E book.
Now a GBH lesson. The feathers on the chest of a GBH are called powder downe feathers. The bird has a comb on its feet, it runs that comb thru those feathers. They turn to a dust and the bird rubs that dust over its feathers.
The dust has many uses including help keep it clean.
Those feathers do not molt , the just breakdown into powder and the bird grows new ones.
Im sure some of you knew that but not all.

The bird is good, the nest much less so. Too regular, too deep.

If the bird were drawn by a sketch artist, it could not be more perfect... amazing plumage.
