The birds are returning, and the heronries are beginning to fill up. During the nesting period herons are very sensitive to human presence around the sites and will abandon their nests if disturbed at close range. In British Columbia, laws limit development within 200-300m of nests. Remember, the goal of wildlife viewing is to safely appreciate the animals in their natural surroundings with minimal impact. ~ "Wildlife Watching - The Great Blue Heron"
