Great Blue Heron

SURFACE DESIGN

Great Blue Herons are fascinating to watch. We like to visit local rookeries often in late winter and early spring and watch for the new hatchlings. Herons don’t mate for life, but they do have some very involved courtship practices. When you see two herons with their heads down, this indicates they are interested in mating. Visually there isn’t much difference between males and females. Males are usually a little larger than the females, and often have darker feathers on their face, neck, and crown.

Here we have some Great Blue Heron patterns with marsh vegetation and evergreens. These prehistoric-looking birds are standing in shallow water, as they tend to do, looking to catch some fish for dinner. Flowers, cattails, and simple diamond shapes make up the secondary and blender patterns.

Please note that some of the heron patterns have both a 1-way and a 2-way version.
