Artist's notes:
 The
Great Blue Heron illustration was completed in (10/2008).
I've been meaning to draw one of these gorgeous birds for
many years. It took a little longer than I expected, an
the lily pads on the water were a little more challenging
then I expected. But overall I'm happy with the results.
Whenever I draw an animal I always try to give a strong
sense of it's three-dimensionality. I think that comes across
fairly well here. This drawing is based on a photo by B.
Irschick.

The Great Blue Heron is a wading shore bird in the family
Ardeidae. This large bird is common over most of North and
Central America as well as the West Indies and the Galápagos
Islands. Great Blue Herons are found in a wide range of
habitats. They live in fresh and saltwater marshes, flooded
meadows, mangrove swamps, lake edges, or shorelines. Regardless,
they always live near bodies of water and nest in the trees
or bushes near the shore.
