The Herons Are Beginning to Nest!

Even though the trees are bare, with no leaves to hide the nests, the herons are already beginning to nest. I saw this pair in the nesting tree in Alton Baker Park. Sure is foggy out there!

They do start early, all I can think of is staying warn and they are building nests. v

You know the saying ... early bird gets the worm ... well the herons figured their being early gets the best nest.

Jack Hoying		08-Jan-2015 20:29

Well framed shot! It's so nice to see them nesting like this. And so odd. Odd to see such lanky long legged things in a tree.
