Stately Great Blue Heron at The Beach

This stately heron with its subtle blue-gray plumage stands motionless as it scans for prey or wades belly deep with long, deliberate steps.

By the water’s edge, Great Blue Herons look as natural as can be, all spindly legs and gray-blue body, s-curved neck and a sharp, powerful bill that’s orange and yellow.

He may move slowly, but Great Blue Herons can strike like lightning to grab a fish or snap up a gopher.

With its long legs and elegant neck the Gray Heron strikes a regal pose as it stands motionless in shallow water, waiting to strike at unsuspecting fish.

Many believe that the great blue heron represents the presence of God. If you see a great blue heron in nature, in a dream, or flying over you, it’s reminding you that God is watching over you. You have angels nearby, ready to lead you into deep, spiritual enlightenment and Divine wisdom.
