Great Blue Heron

I painted this Great Blue Heron since I see them quite often in the wetlands near the Great Lakes.  Some people belive that wetlands have no value, yet they are an important part of the ecosystem.  They help prevent floods, filter out pollution and are nurserys for fish and birds.  The heron is one of the more colorful denizens of wetlands.  Read more about this topic in my book, The Dynamic Great Lakes, available at Amazon.com and bn.com.
