The Great Blue Heron is a symbol of patience and grace in nature, embodying the serene beauty of the Lowcountry's coastal habitats. 🌿🦢 These majestic birds are expert hunters and can stand motionless for long periods, waiting to catch their prey with lightning-fast strikes.These beautiful birds have a wingspan of up to 6 feet, making them a stunning sight as they soar through the skies of our Sea Islands. Despite their large size, Great Blue Herons are skilled at navigating through dense marsh

Great blue heron 23-81 came into care on April 27, 2023 after becoming oiled. After being treated for an infection and going through the stressful process of a wash (to remove the oil) this heron was finally ready for release almost 3 weeks later.

Thank you to all who have donated, without you this release would not have been possible! If you would like to suppor
