Great Blue Heron Trying to Attract a Mate 🦩 02/06/23 08:24

The Great Blue Heron is at his nest again today. This time doing preening, neck stretches, and fixing a few sticks on the nest. To attract a female, the male chooses the nest site and displays there to attract a mate. Displays include stretching the neck up with the bill pointing skyward, flying in circles above the colony with neck extended, stretching neck forward with head and neck feathers erected and then snapping bill shut.
