Today the wings and tail were hammered into shape. It is possible to twist the wing section by applying pressure with a chisel on the individual feathers. This creates a very believeable wing suggesting motion that you would see in a "real" heron. The heron's head is turned and the legs also are off center showing a bird turning in flight. So much nicer than a sculpture where all the elements are in a straight line and static.
