Beautiful! I love herons. Used to live close to a yearly nesting area and could watch them every evening. They are tops on my list of favorite birds!

That was awesome to watch! Right in front of the camera too...It's interesting to see what they do when they "go home" after fishing and flying around. Thank you!

Old video but just stunning! Look at those head feathers! So elegantly beautiful!

Herons are fly in such an elegant way. This is beautiful to watch.

I have fallen head over heels with these wonderful and loving (to their broad) creatures!

WOW!! I always enjoy watching birds--but this video is absolutely amazing! How lucky to be out in the woods and get to take part in such a filming!

Watching this reminds me of how few degrees away from their ancient cousins the pterodactyls these guys must be... Pretty awesome

Notice the courtship towards the end. Such an amazing species of bird.

Love Blue Herons, we recently rescued one ... (you can see it by clicking on the Blue Marlin to the left) he was entangled in a fishing line

Shades of Jurassic Park! Can't help but think of pterodactyls -- Gorgeous...

Such a striking, powerful looking creature at 0:15

I just finished a woodcarving of a hero, sure could have used this video to help me carve it, but I think I will try again using this video to help me carve it. Thank you for giving us a peek into their lives.

I see some flting when I walk to school sometimes. They are cool birds. And they look huge when they fly.

What a totally awesome video, great opportunity to see them up close. Thanks!

Fantastic! I have herons in my backyard everyday but have never seen them this close up before.

Awwww I never seen them with their little Mohawks up! Cute

Herons just amaze me; I once got up close (in urban Toronto, of all places - in a park) and it was one of the most breathtaking moments I've experienced.

There is 1 Great Blue Heron who showed up in the small pond (reservoir) & waterfalls of the golf course I live on in the desert (Palm Desert, Ca). He flies to & fro the waterfalls to large high eucalyptus tree, circles around the fairway and to the waterfalls. They are amazing to watch in flight. I just love the feathers below neck and the crown is awesome, not to mention the long dangling legs following behind in flight.

Amazingly awesome. Thanks for posting.

Totaly awesome. Luv the GBH.

That was fantastic recording! Thank you.

Great Footage good contrast, Never seen that bird before, Thank you for sharing Dan, My mom is going to love this video, no doubts, Thanks again, coo coo ka choo

Amazing video! Well caught!

Magnificent recording , thank you dear friend:)

In some languages, if you're tall, you're nicknamed a Heron. Hence why I identify with them . Birds nurture, fly and have no anxiety.

Check out the video where the snow falls and covers the heron on the nest.

Absolutely majestic creature!

Amazing footage of their approach and landing!!!

WOW. Fascinating peak into the life of a GBH

Such beautiful birds!!

Thanks for posting!

beautifull birds

There are definitely Great Blue Herons in KY :P

That is beautiful! Really cool!

Really cool! But I wish the camera had zoomed out so that we could see them both together.

this is better than a movie!

Great Blue Heron Caws

Cool!

This is amazing

Great imagery! Will you describe your system of camera, enclosure and activation?

This is quite interesting.. in the books that I have they list only the male having the black long feather on it's head .. both of these birds have that crest.

They are so incredibly Prehistoric.

It's a camera set up in a tree, remotely controlled. Other than that, I'm not sure. There is a behind-the-scenes video that shows them setting it up.

My Hat Is OFF to whomever climbed way the heck up in that tree to install the cam. Whoot whoot whoot!

Woah! Nice!!!

Wow, It's amazing:)

Beautiful birds. Ive seen babies lol. I had a blue heron land on my roof

Wow this really awesome! Their eyes remind me of the Ikran in Avatar haha :)

Beautiful Birds...Wow pretty Amazing...I Love it.GOD is Great! His way is perfect.PSALM18,30

Is this cool or just ..... fun to watch

@kbparis So we're talking about convergent vs divergent evolution? Can you give me the name of the NU article? Thanks...

these birds look like they've been divorced twice

مقطع رائع جداً
