A green heron in profile, perched on a boardwalk railing at Green Cay Wetlands in Florida. Its midbody feathers are a rust color in contrast to head, wings, and tail in bluish-green, but the wing feather tips sport a rust-colored outline.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay is #Feathers showcasing the beauty and intricacies of feathers; alt #BirdInABush any bird in perched in a bush.

Fascinating how the tail feathers of this green heron are outlined in the contrasting color of its chest/neck feathers.

🪶 Alan has chosen #Feathers as today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme.
Alternative is #BirdInABush.

I have this shot of a Grey Heron preening in a willow tree.

A vertical, artistic portrait of a Grey Heron perched on a branch. The image features a double-exposure effect and a muted, monochromatic sepia and charcoal palette. The heron is turned slightly toward the viewer with a sharp eye in focus, while the rest of the frame is obscured by a dreamlike, hazy texture and soft light leaks, creating a vintage analog aesthetic.

Decided to try a slightly more "artistic" edit with this image of a local Grey #Heron.

What are your thoughts on this kind of photo processing?

A grey heron stands on bright green grass at the water’s edge, wings lifted wide like a soft, feathered cloak. Its layered plumage shows delicate gradients of silver, ash, and charcoal, each feather finely edged and fanned with quiet elegance. The long neck curves slightly as the bird turns its head, revealing a sharp eye and sleek black-and-white markings. In a surreal, almost comical contrast to its natural grace, the heron holds a single McDonald’s French fry in its beak, the bright yellow strip standing out against the muted tones of its feathers and the calm, blurred water behind it.

Good morning. I wonder, does living near a McDonalds affect a Grey Heron’s diet? 🤔 Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Feathers showcasing the beauty and intricacies of feathers. The alt today is #BirdInABush any bird in perched in a bush. #birds #photography #Stunday #Heron #ECK

Great Blue Herons are opportunistic carnivores that eat a wide variety of land animals, including small mammals (mice, voles, chipmunks), reptiles (snakes, lizards), amphibians (frogs, toads, salamanders), insects, and even small birds like ducklings.

A great blue heron perches near the top of a mature tree as a spring storm rolls through Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical black-and-white photograph, a budding tree rises from the bottom to near the top of the frame. In the upper right quadrant, the heron roosts facing the camera, its head turned to the left. The scene is silhouetted against shifting light and dark clouds as the storm moves through.

A great blue heron flies across a pond at one of my favorite nature areas in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal black-and-white photograph, the heron passes close by from right to left. Its left wing and the rear of its body, including the legs, are cropped out of the frame. The wings are in a downward stroke, and the head plumes trail in motion. The background is softly rippled pond water.

The alt theme for #BirdoftheDay is #riverbank any bird capture on the banks of a waterway.

Here, a great blue heron waits to strike near the spillway of Saylorville Dam in central Iowa.

Picture of the same heron on the riverbank, flying away they probably felt they were being watched, and rightly so.

A heron stood in a dark and fast flowing river stalking its prey. It was dark and a bit wet at the time and the noise of the river added to the atmosphere.

This perhaps only matches loosely with today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme chosen by @alan678.bsky.social from memory the #weather was drizzling but you can’t really see it and this #heron is in the river rather than on the #riverbank but hey! #birds #photography #EastCoastKin #ukbirds #wildlife #ukwildlife

A heron it's wings outstretched is flying over a marsh area of the St. Lawrence River in parc des rapides, Montreal. You can see it's shadow in the water. There is much green marsh grasses around it.

Large & small #birds from the #PNW. A #heron outside the restaurant & a #hummingbird outside our dining room. Anna's hummers stay all year long & now the Rufous have returned. Up to seven fly around a feeder that we refill every other day. They're so fun to watch! #PNWlife #Birdwatching

A great blue heron with its wings spread wide flying low above a shiny white boulder which is likely composed of quartz.  The birds legs are tucked neatly together and trailing straight behind in the typical flight position. There is water flowing around the quartz boulder and a larger granite boulder in the background.

Here is a great blue #heron with a full-body shadow, not in water, but pure quartz! (I hope I'm not mistaken here). Occoquan, Virginia, USA 1-APR-2026. ( 38.687, -77.265 ). #geologist comments welcome. #birds #geology #photography #naturephotography #birdphotography
