I just received this magnificent blue Heron and I love him.  I put him in my flower bed by my pool next to my Texas Blue Bonnets.  I couldn't believe how well made he was and the details that were put into making this piece.  The only thing I wish they had included was a second stake for staking this into the ground.  He is a rather tall piece and I don't want him to fall over in our Texas winds.  The one stake is working pretty well, but two would have really secured him to where I wouldn't have to worry about him falling over and having a wing break.  Other than that, it's truly a beautiful piece that would look outstanding in anyone's garden.
