Audubon Great Blue Heron Marsh Bird

Audubon Birds of America Prints - the Great Blue Heron John James Audubon was one of the America's great naturalists, documenting hundreds of birds species with great precision as he made his way across America and drew in detail the wild birds of America. Audubon then published lithographs of his scientific drawings of the American birds, and this Great Blue Heron is among the best Audubon lithographs made by Audubon. The Great Blue Heron is actually a slate gray heron with blue tints and with striking markings- a black shoulder, white face, and a white crown with black stripes. It's a large heron - the largest in theU.S. The Great Blue Heron has a bill that is strong, long and yellow. The colors of the heron's thighs are a chestnut brown. The Audubon great blue heron is standing in the marsh, with marsh grass around it, and it is obviously looking for fresh fish, as its great yellow beak is turned down toward the water. This Audubon bird print of the Great Blue Heron is a beautiful bird print, and a classic image from the early 1800s.
