With its striking plumage, the great blue heron is one of the most widely recognized wading birds in North America. Riding on kelp beds in the Queen Charlotte Islands, wading in coastal streams along the mainland, poised motionless at the water's edge on a misty morning, or nesting in the limbs of old-growth forests, this stately bird is a familiar sight on the coast of British Columbia. The largest colonies are on the Fraser River delta, an area of great ecological significance to the north Pacific. Despite a growing body of knowledge regarding many aspects of the species' breeding biology and courtship behaviour, the foraging and population ecology of this bird remains something of an enigma. In his beautifully illustrated book, Robert Butler follows the great blue heron through a year on the coast of British Columbia. He draws on more than a decade of work to throw light on the adaptability of this magnificent bird to a temperate climate, its diet and breeding habits, habitat use, and conservation. Although the great blue heron has become a symbol of wetland conservation, in recent years it has had to face new challenges as a consequence of rapid urbanization of its environment. In The Great Blue Heron the author also describes the B.C. coast and shares a vision for the conservation of the Strait of Georgia and the Fraser River delta.

See preceding entry. The publisher describes the present volume as the first book on this species. It's a lovely one that should appeal to a wide audience. The text covers the full life history of the species, while 90 color photographs cover nesting, flying, wading, and fishing. Great shots of young herons in the nest.

A 104-page book, rich with photographs, describing the Great Blue Heron, both in breeding and non-breeding seasons. Specific topics include history, distribution and migration; mate selection, nest building and breeding; raising chicks; fledging of chicks, life beyond the rookery, and a conservation message. Sadly, the island rookery featured in this book was demolished the following year by a tornado which killed all the just-hatching chicks and many of the adults. They had returned to this rookery on the Northern Mississippi River after surviving the massive BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

This report describes a six-year study of the great blue heron (Ardea herodias) on British Columbia's Pacific coast. The study period included five breeding seasons and four winters. The researchers studied a colony of 85-100 pairs on Sidney Island and visited about 40 other colonies around the Strait of Georgia over 1986-91. This report presents the results of the study, with information on the heron's diet, food availability, foraging behavior, use of habitats by age-classes and sex-classes, seasonal shifts in habitat use, spacing of breeding colonies in relation to predators and foraging habitats, effects of nest site selection and time of breeding on breeding success, and local survival of age-classes.

This book features one of the author's favorite birds, The Great Blue Heron. He hopes you enjoy this intimate look into the life of a truly magnificent American bird. Most of these photos were taken by him in the beautiful Hocking Hills area of southeastern Ohio. This book is intended as a photographic essay concerning one bird species, the Great Blue Heron. It is not a technical piece by any means. My intent is to let these photographs speak for themselves as much as possible. I might interject my observations into its photographic narration at some points, but only as clarification or to point out an observation of my own pertaining to what these great birds have taught me about themselves. They were the teachers, I was the eager student. They still have much to teach me. I'll never live long enough to know it all. I was amazed to find that I had over 9,000 images of Great Blue Herons in my computer folders. I know I will run across some photographs later on and say to myself: I should have included this one, or that one. I still take more photos each time I go to my lake. I can't help myself. Who knows if the next photo will teach me something else about these aptly named birds. I'm almost afraid to check my picture files for all the other species I have photographed. If all goes well with this offering, I may do other books on other species in at some point in the future.
