The story behind the photograph

A great blue heron (Ardea herodias) stands motionless on a moss-covered log along the Mississippi River at Credit Island Historical Park in Davenport, Iowa. Its orange bill, slate-blue plumage, and watchful eyes catch the cool spring light among a tangle of bare branches and dark water. Regal, patient, and utterly still.

A meaningful gift for a birder, heron admirer, Iowa nature enthusiast, or anyone who has ever watched a great blue heron hold perfectly still and felt the world slow down with it.
