A terrible wind and rain storm stuck our area 2/27/06 damaging many trees and we were fearful for this tree with its two heron nests because it was so rotten. Sure enough, when we went down to check on it today, 3/5/06, we found the tree snapped in half and both nest destroyed. We found two herons in an adjacent tree and another nest built, so maybe there is hope yet. However the two females had already been sitting on the other nests for about 2 weeks.
