The Stick Dance

Sighting Date: 
March 27, 2012
"As the stick dance proceeds, the pair will often display for each other. Among these displays are various neck stretches. On occasion I've seen the female stretch straight up with her bill pointed skyward and neck feathers puffed out." -Garry Kessler
Garry Kessler writes about great blue herons and their spring displays that are happening in our local wetlands, in his latest Westborough Patch entry, In Our Backyard: The Stick Dance.  A link to several photos of the dance is found in the article as well.
