Information about the Purple Heron:
The Purple Heron is a large wading bird, growing to be about 31-38 inches long (78–97 cm) with a standing height from 28-37 inches (70 to 94 cm) and a wingspan of 47-60 inches (120–152 cm) However, it is slender for its size, weighing only 1.2-3 pounds (0.5–1.35 kg) They are members of the family Ardeidae. They breed in Africa, central and southern Europe, and southern and eastern Asia. The European populations are migratory, wintering in tropical Africa; the more northerly Asian populations also migrate further south within Asia. It is a rare but regular wanderer north of its breeding range.

Artist’s notes:
The Purple Heron illustration was completed on 1.29.2015. I’ve been on something of a heron kick lately – adding several to the image library, including a few bittern and other related species. I miss living in North Berkeley were I would regularly see large Great Blue Herons at the neighborhood parks. I will likely draw a few more species and make a Herons of the World collage. This drawing is based on a photo by Allan Holland and was used with his permission.
