Sibling Rivalry

    From here, one can view scores of great blue herons raising young high above in the sycamore trees. This trio stood up to stretch after mom took off to fish for more dinner.

      Thanks Eddie. This one is about a four hour round-trip for us, so we are very excited about the shots we get to keep on these visits!

      Thanks Anthony. You have nearby rookeries? How lucky you are! They are amazing to visit....

      Unfortunately, this one is cross-cut with a busy highway, so have to take the shots from the safe side of the road, or hang off an embankment. And I'm just too old now.......
