Checking On The Great Blue Heron Nests

We are fortunate to have a heron rookery in the area with dozens of nests. They are quite a distance across a flooded area high up in the trees but it like a scene from the dinosaur era.

They are constantly flying around outside the nest so sometimes you do get a little closer. It has become a yearly ritual to check on these nests to get a count on how many herons are around. Some years we have seen as many as 200 of them. This year the numbers have been a little more modest.
