I went to Monson Village to see if the Great Blue Heron were building nests. I counted 6 nests that were being built. I saw Blue Heron flying around retrieving branches then arranging them in the nests.
It appeared like there were more birds than nests so
there must be others around that I couldn’t see. The birds were paired up and seemed to be
coddling one another.
I caught these 2 in the act !!!
I don’t know the timings of eggs being laid then
hatchlings, etc. I will wait another
month or so and go back to see if I see little bird heads sticking out over the
top of the nests.
They blend in so well and were difficult to spot with the trees and branches in the background.
