About us


The Heron and Egret Society was formed in 2004 to promote the welfare of herons, egrets, and associated wading birds, especially in the Dallas area. We also provide a resource for anyone who loves these beautiful birds to share information and art. Most of our work is centered on the beautiful and amazing “Harry Hines Heronry” at Inwood Road and West Campus Drive, Dallas, Texas, 75390.

About our logo:

The Egyptian god Thoth is traditionally represented by an ibis head on a human body. Thoth is a god of writing, science (medicine, astronomy, and mathematics) and teaching.

Thoth invented the hieroglyphs and then wrote himself into existence. Society artist Diane Stewart designed this logo.
