Great Blue Heron Sculpture

A freestanding, life-size sculpture made entirely of copper and perched on a solid blue granite base. Commissioned by Peter Sage of Medford, Oregon.

A Great Blue Heron made of copper is perfectly balanced on one leg, poised to catch a fish.

If your having problems with herons, egrets or other large birds preying on your ornamental fish, this is the environmentally sound answer to your dilemma.

Territorial by nature, herons generally do not land to feed where another bird already exists. Our Heron will scare 'em away from your ornamental fish pond and add garden art to your decor.

In this sculpture a blue heron is placed into a water feature filled with Koy. He's poised in a fishing posture with his head aimed to one side, scanning the waters below. A very natural pose that other herons accept as real.

Each individual feather, well over 1,200 of them, is hand cut and separately secured into place one at a time to a hand hammered skeleton sheaved in copper. All surface copper is finished in a hand painted custom patina which will continue to evolve and change with time becoming ever richer and deeper in color tones.

Ideal for interior or exterior location. A variety of mounting options are available.

 5' tall x 2' wide x 2' deep

This heron is ideally suited for placement in a water feature for garden art elegance taken to a new level. Life size copper wildlife sculptures, like this Great Blue Heron perfectly balanced on one leg fishing, are created using copper techniques learned from the Masters in charge of the Statue of Liberty restoration.

Each one is custom built by hand, made in the USA.
