About This Design

Rookery Tree.
Ever seen a heron rookery? It's both impressive and a little disconcerting—dozens of massive nests crowding the treetops like a feathered apartment complex. Great Blue Herons nest in colonies, usually selecting isolated trees near streams where they can fish and raise their young. Visit in late winter or early spring before the leaves fill in, and you'll witness one of nature's most dramatic nesting spectacles. This design captures that wonderfully eerie beauty, making it perfect for those who appreciate the slightly spooky side of birding.

About the Great Blue Heron

The Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) is North America's largest heron, standing up to four feet tall with an impressive wingspan of about six feet. These majestic wading birds are found near freshwater and coastal habitats throughout North America, from southern Canada to Central America. Great Blue Herons are patient, skilled hunters, often standing motionless in shallow water before striking with lightning speed to catch fish, frogs, and other aquatic prey. During breeding season, they gather in colonies called rookeries, building large stick nests high in trees where they raise their young.
