We are the quiet unnoticed Heron, inspiring Heroneers all over Planet Earth, as you encounter Heronkind for 1st or 1000th time. "Nature is reported in the fullness of life... To the full heart she is all but a figure of speech"-Thoreau www.everyheron.com
The Egret Beakspear, at the sharp end of evolution. #HeronArt 🎨

Aosagibi (blue heron fire) is a #yokai phenomenon that occurs when Black Crowned Night Herons become extremely old and develop supernatural powers. Aosagibi give off a blue glow 🔵 & breathe out a heatless, golden fiery light.🔥 The harmless creature retains a normal Heron's shyness. 💙
The sun is shining this morning and this happy heron can't quite contain itself at King's College Chapel, Cambridge. #StainedGlassSunday
Well, well. File under 'learn something new every day...' Lucky Astecs. English are named after a corner ( or bendy bit of land).
EveryHeron 𓅣@everyheron.bsky.social · yesterdayThe Aztecs were named after a Heron. 🪶 The Nahuatl word aztatl means heron or egret. It's the root of Aztlan, "place of herons," the legendary homeland the Mexica said they migrated from. #HeronHistory #history #Birds🧵

💭 Mmnhmpm no, sorry mister, I've not seen your missing fish mmphm. What colour did you say it was? Gold? I'll keep my eyes open for it.

Young Heron often practice on sticks, leaves or anything that floats by. Spearing a fish is not easy, not intuitive. You need to invest to survive. 1/2
Midwest Menagerie (Ella)@midwestmenagerie.bsky.social · 4w agoThis juvenile blue heron was practicing hunting last night and caught a stick, some seaweed, and finally a fish (which it then dropped) 🪶

What if a single bird could tell us the health of an entire ecosystem? In Botswana, the Slaty Egret is a key indicator species for the Okavango Delta. This #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, watch how migratory birds connect ecosystems across continents. @cms.int @euenvironmentandclimate.ec.europa.eu
Today's #birdoftheday theme is #waders This is probably my favorite wader photo, a great egret chasing a cattle egret with a vole. What characters they are!🪶
Heronkind's delectation for dragonfly snacks feels so primeval. Ancient insect pursued by Ancient dinosaur. There is nothing slow and lumbering here, just lightning strikes!

Ardea scofflawensis - a Heron that habitually breaks the law, flouts rules, or ignores minor legal obligations like no fishing signs, danger warnings, no entering the water notices, parking tickets and court summonses.

💭 Mirror Mirror in the Lake Who is the fairest of them all? 🪩 Why we are, of course, my dear. We are!
SaraG@hardlikearmour.bsky.social · 4d agoDo Great Egrets look at their reflections and notice how beautiful they are? #Waders #BirdOfTheDay #Birds #Herons #ECK
We are all in it together, hurtling through the void, star dust ✨ rattling around inside our atoms. But it must be said, Heronkind wear those atoms way more stylishly than Humankinds.
Tom Lynch@tomlynch.bsky.social · 3d ago#BirdOfTheDay #Waders I’m hoping the waders don’t need to be wading in the photo. From @audubon.org’s Corkscrew swamp in the #Everglades, this Tri-colored Heron found a safe place to hunt in a pond full of alligators. #Birds #Birding #Birdwatching #birdphotography #naturephotography
Heron Tip: To make sure the Heroneer photographer truly appreciates your featherwork, get your lighting angles just right.

Such beautiful #HeronArt. Imagine having this Heron with you at all times.
