Great Blue Heron by Robert Bateman is cropped from its original art to make the bird a more focused part for this 500 piece puzzle. This elegant bird is the largest of the heron family. Over half of its length is the head and neck, a well-designed javelin system. The gracefully folded neck can straighten with lightning speed, aimed at a luckless frog or fish. With a toss of the head, the prey is swallowed and the hunting pose resumed. --Robert Bateman
