12. 0. I have been asked to mount a great blue heron for a museum. It is currently being held by the local DNR (I told the museum to get the proper license), so I have not seen the actual carcass, but have been told it is in good enough shape to mount. After some research, I can purchase an artificial head and eyes with no problem, but there is ...
Re: Ideas for feather replacements on a Great Blue Heron. You really will need to find a fly tying department locally so that you can root through and compare all the feathers they have with the ones you're trying to match. I would think it would be hard to do looking in the catalogue or on-line. Aug 19, 2009 #5.
Your neck looks too thick because of the trachea misplacement. The neck of a heron is much thinner in the upper 1/3 of its length – here you need to study photos more.

The back of the skull is reasonably close to the place where the wings attach on the front portion of the back. At a distance the neck isn't even visible. Third, the legs, if in main flight are tucked up parallel to the body and close to the tail.

This Blue Heron has a custom casted head and bill, hand painted eyes and wrapped body and neck. The legs were removed, tendons stripped and pulled out and wired for mounting. The toes were injected with masters blend, then the legs were filled with fiberglass resin.

The green heron you posted is a good mount. You know it, and I know it. I am simply posting my opinion, and it is only opinion, on things I would change would I mount another green heron in the near future. I believe, playing around with the fresh carcass and seeing how the neck and skin works would be very beneficial in creating a good mount.
