Great Blue Heron gathering Nest Twigs

What a large bird,Wow,makes our native Heron look quiet small lol....

hi again Tina. Yes, they are huge :) And what a row they make, up in the nesting area, if a bald eagle flies anywhere near their nests! Not that I blame them. The bald eagles have a 6 foot wingspan, and they are also nesting in the same area, on the bluff, so that they can capture the baby herons if they get a chance (from their nests). But the parent herons guard the nests pretty closely.

A great shot...I love their coloring...and they are quite large..we have them here, as well..in fact, we have most of the birds you have pictured so far...amazing!

thankyou Skippy. Interesting how we have most of the same birds :)

superb photo....

thanks again, Bonkersbon, we must go back there again soon, to see how the nests are progressing :)
