Why the Blue Heron?
According to North American Native tradition, the blue heron brings messages of self-determination and self-reliance. They represent an ability to progress and evolve.
Additionally, blue herons can be an indicator of a healthy ecosystem.
We have a blue heron rookery at our ranch office and they are exceptionally beautiful birds. It’s fascinating to watch them hunt — standing motionless in the water, then spearing a fish and gulping it down.
“Stalking along from log to log, or plunging their long legs in the oozy swamp, two large herons paid no attention to my presence, but occupied themselves with their own fishing arrangements, as if their wilderness were their own.”
William Cowper Prime
