Herons are amazing fishermen! If you like to fish, always pay attention to where the herons are looking for their breakfast—they will show you where opportunity lies. The heron can teach us a thing or two about patience—just watch a heron standing on the shore, waiting for the right moment to strike. Many Native American fisherman believe that spotting the Sacred Waterbird is a sign that the fishing trip will be a good one! On a personal note, Rich’s late mother, Kelly, loved the Great Blue Heron, and one magically showed up at her celebration of life that was held at the Big Lagoon State Park in Florida.
