WHAT'S UP IN THE BACKYARD

Saginaw, TX

My friend, Peggy, has some Yellow Crested Night Herons living in her tree in her backyard. There are five babies and they are getting big. I went by there after church and got a few pics. These are two of the babies. They're several weeks old and almost too big for the nest. They haven't started flying yet but do venture out to some of the branches. It's way cool to watch them as they built the nest and now raising young. Unusual that they are nesting in a neighborhood area but quite exciting. Mom or Dad are always there. The nest is never left without an adult. :)

Nice catch, Cindi. Excellent shutter speed to produce a nice sharp image.
