I'm Back...
Last Wednesday morning I received a call from Artie to tell me that he was at Lake Morton and that Great Blue Herons were building a nest in a large Cypress tree. I couldn't go then or Thanksgiving day but on Friday morning I did go at sunrise. About every five to ten minutes the male heron would leave and return with a branch/stick. I returned again on Saturday morning meeting Artie and Anita who were already there. Same routine for the male heron flying away and then returning with a branch. I wondered how big the nest would when finished. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
