Great Blue Heron preening.

A medium shot captures a bird perched on tree branches, deeply engrossed in grooming its plumage. The bird has long blue-gray legs and a multicolored feathery midsection. The lower half of the bird is a patchwork of white, grey, and black. A multitude of long, thin white feathers are sprouting from the middle of the bird’s body, near the chest area that's a mix of white and grey. A small patch of tan can be seen in its underbelly. Its feathery neck is a gradient of white to blue-gray, mirroring the shades found on its back and wings. The bird's white head is adorned with a line of black feathers, adding a sleek touch to its appearance. The bird is diligently cleaning its wings with its orange beak. The tree branches, both slender and sturdy, are speckled with a variety of small green leaves, creating a lush backdrop. The leaves, painted in multiple shades of green, fill the space, bringing a lively and vibrant feel to the natural setting.
