Great Blue Heron Challenge Kitchen Towel

The great blue heron, in the original photograph by ZoeSPEAK on this Kitchen Towel, is showing his plumage, looking a bit like a porcupine, fluffing up his feathers to make himself look bigger, to tell another bird that it's his territory. In the photo we see the bird in profile, his grey blue colouring ending in a white head with deep blue bands on each side. His long yellow beak is pointing straight ahead as he walks forward with his long, curved neck tucked back against his body. The background of grasses is in muted earth tones with bits of green throughout.
