Frequently asked questions

What colors does a grey heron have?
Most herons are grey with a bit of blue, and they often have a yellow beak.
Why does a heron have such long legs?
This allows it to stand deep in the water to hunt for fish without getting its feathers wet.
Should I start with a pencil or a marker?
Always start with a pencil and draw very lightly, so you can easily erase the guide lines later.
What if my heron doesn't look exactly like the example?
That doesn't matter, every bird in nature is unique and different too!
