Monson Village - Great Blue Heron

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. 

Stay tuned ...
