Great Blue Heron

Niceville, FL

We stopped early this morning before the workshop to get a picture of these birds in the nest. The area was across the highway from our hotel. Gayle dropped me off after our long ride home. I grabbed my keys and ran for my son's baseball game. They won 8 - 5. They have one more game and then tournament. I am going to miss the rest of the games because I will be traveling again. Here is one of our pitchers looking very intense

This is a great capture. It's a nice shot with just the trees and to have the nesting herons in it too is stunning. Wonderful nature photo!

I like how this shows part of the enviornment too. Amazing that they nest in such an accessible spot.

must be an area rich in fish and other heron food for them to nest sooooo close together in the heronry

Interesting that they nest so close together. Those are some BIG nests. They must have used whole branches. Great capture of these cool birds.

Nice find, Elaine. I like the multi twiggy trees in the forground.
