Great Blue Heron
Great Blue Heron - and a Perfect Reflection
Award Winning 30" x 20" HD Matte Metal for $405.00 delivered!
I've hiked on the towpath in Princeton that is between the D&R Canal and Lake Carnegie many times since 2020. I often see one of the four Great Blue Heron that 'live' there. Sometimes none. That's nature. And there may be more Great Blue Herons there; but I've never seen more than four in one day. This does not mean I'm correct, either. It's my best guess.
On this morning in November I saw this Heron snagging a fish on the far side of the D&R Canal. I carefully got a shot of it snaring that poor fish.
Consider this: Great Blue Herons weigh only 4 to 6 pounds because they have hollow bones! Eating a 1-2 pound fish whole in one gulp is like you or I eating a quarter or even more of our body weight in one gulp of a living fish!
Amazing biology!
I then waited bit. It then stood up and I was able to capture this image - one of my favorites of Great Blue Herons because of the great reflection.
It then just flew off with that massive wingspan avoiding the tree limbs - how, I do not know. Once again, amazing!
It, as with every image on this website, is available in other sizes as long as the Aspect Ratio (height by length) stays the same.
