Blue Crane (Little Blue Heron) Princeton Audubon Limited Edition
Little Blue Heron, Florida caerulea print size 26 1/4" x 39 1/4"; image size: 28 1/2" x 20 1/2" Produced 1985 - Princeton Audubon Limited Edition The white bird in the background is an immature little blue heron, quite as white as an egret and often mistaken for one since it does not wear its adult plumage until two years of age. The view of the countryside near Charleston, South Carolina, was painted by George Lehman. Audubon wrote of the little blue heron: "You may see this graceful Heron, quietly and in silence walking along the margins of the water, with an elegance and grace which can never fail to please you. Each regularly-timed step is lightly measured, while the keen eye of the bird seeks for and watches the equally cautious movements of the objects towards which it advances with all imaginable care. When at a proper distance, it darts forth its bill with astonishing celerity, to pierce and secure its prey."
