P1310719-Recovered

Watching great blue herons mate and nest
is what got me interested in birds shortly after
retiring. What a privilege to witness such intimate behavior, and through my scope, I can watch without disturbing them. When photographing nests, it is critical to keep a
respectful distance. Never clear vegetation
around a nest for a better view, or otherwise have a negative impact on vulnerable little ones.
