"Night Shift" Painting

Great blue herons can be seen in almost every water habitat in Ohio and Florida in every season where unfrozen water is present. Their long specialized necks curl into S shape for a more aerodynamic flight contour and for a quick strike at prey at a distance. Despite their large size, they weigh only five to six pounds. Great blue herons have specialized powder down feathers on their chest which continually grow and fray. They comb these feathers with a fringed claw on their middle toes, using the power to remove fish slime and other oils from their feathers. They apply the powder to their under parts protecting their feathers against the slime and oils of swamps. Great blue herons hunt alone during the day but can also hunt at night. They have a large number of rod-type photoreceptors in both eyes which help their night vision. Great blue herons are waders. They snare their prey by walking slowly, or standing still for long periods of time in water, waiting for smaller prey such as fish, amphibians, reptiles, insects to come within range of their long necks and blade-like bills. They also forage in wet grasslands and agricultural fields where they stalk frogs and mammals.
