One of my daughter's favorite bedtime stories had a Heron in it.
I read that story every night to her for months. Sometimes more than once a night!
I still remember the description of the Heron:
"A great grey stalking bird." I can't remember who wrote it...
I'm glad you liked my little story, many birds are retold in fairy tales as myths or symbols
Thanks for this info. I never thought about it much. I'm going to look into it.
