and art. Herons are a familiar species which many of us take for
granted. With a complex life history, sensitivity to humans and
dependency on rapidly diminishing habitats, the heron represents the
plight of native wildlife throughout the Salish Sea. Discover the
cycles, rituals and ecology of this magnificent shoreline sentinel.

the coastal realm. Owner of Nahkeeta Northwest Wildlife Services in
