The Herons Are Nesting!

There is a nesting tree in Delta Ponds and this one in Alton Baker Park. Each tree has about six nests, and they are big. I zeroed in on one nest, and a heron in it, to show the size. Often, both mates are in the nest at the same time. It looks a bit crowded for two! :)

It always amazes me how those long legged lanky birds can nest in trees.

What a wonderful place you have in Delta Ponds... and the stories you can tell us!
A superb capture of this magnificent bird. v

Excellent clarity and color, but it sure is hard to imagine two of them in the next at the same time!

How wonderful for each tree to hold six nests. Great image to show the size of the heron against the nest.
