Daran the Heron
Daron the Heron – I have just a couple of photos left of this beautiful bird that I took down south last winter. I actually took enough photos of them to be able to share with you all summer off and on. I never get tired of looking at their amazing colors and long flowing feathers.
One thing I noticed when I look at the videos I take of these birds is that they have a lot of patience and they can go along time without blinking. Yes they blink, they actually have 3 eyelids.
This video below is an example of one not blinking for 30 seconds. Click here, Heron Staring Contest

Those long white feathers are impressive looking Sandra – he did not look as skinny as most herons, must’ve been filling up on fish. That was incredible the staring contest.
Thank you Linda, yes sometimes they look like they are dressed up with their pretty long feathers and other times they just look like tall skinny birds. 🙂
This one was a little “fancier” (for lack of a better term). Some herons I see look like a burst of wind could blow them over.
I love your choice of title!
Thank you Marland, it seems to fit him being he is always standing so close to me like he is tame. 🙂
You’re welcome!
Thank you, Sandra, for capturing that heron in a way that showcases its regal robes. Excellent work.
Thank you RJ, they are actually a very beautiful bird, with the right light their feathers do have a bluish tint to them. Have a wonderful day RJ.
I love your photos.
Thank you very much Janet, I appreciate that. 🙂
We can see every feather in your superb photos.
Thank you so much Mary. 🙂

I agree, creation is breathtaking. 🙂 yes those herons have a lot of patience. 🙂

Thank you very much Francine 😊
Nice! 🤣😎🙃
The first shot is a real winner Sandra and how nice that you won the blinking contest with the heron 🙂
Herons are fascinating birds, I also see them very often and like to photograph them too.
Have a nice day and lots of greets.
Thank you so much, I love that the heron was standing in some marsh land that made for a perfect background for this tall bird. 🙂 have a great day
