Asked by Wiki User
"According to North American Native tradition, the Blue Heron brings messages of self-determination and self-reliance. They represent an ability to progress and evolve. The long thin legs of the heron reflect that an individual doesn't need great massive pillars to remain stable, but must be able to stand on one's own. Blue Herons have the innate wisdom of being able to manoeuvre through life and co-create their own circumstances. Blue Herons reflect a need for those with this totem to follow their on unique wisdom and path of self-determination. These individuals know what is best for themselves and need to follow their hearts rather than the promptings of others. Those with the Medicine of the Great Blue Heron may sit until the rest of us loose patience. And, when they follow the promptings of the heart, they are one of the most magnificent when they choose to soar. This is the message that Blue Heron brings." from: http://www.blueheronenv.com/meaning.htm In Egypt the heron is considered the creator of light.

Do herons land on water?
Asked by Wiki User
Some will try, but they have limits as to what they can do. One species of night heron has been observed "diving into the water" off a dock, but it was too buoyant to fully submerge. It caught a fish and then had to fly up off the surface of the water. (They can't "float" like ducks and sit on the surface of the water, though their feathers will keep them from sinking.) Most of the birds just get their heads or usually just their beaks wet. The heron isn't actually classified as a diving bird (they're wading birds). But don't tell the night heron.
