Big babies

Thanks to 3 intrepid guides, I had a mucky hike through the woods on a farm this morning to a nesting site of Great Blue Herons.

Luckily, two rather large chicks were visible enough next to their tree top nest for this shot.



Mosquito bites aside, it was a great walk in the woods.

    We have several heron rookeries in Powell River. One almost got damaged when they started cutting trees at the recreation complex for a new track. All work stopped and the track was relocated. Good news is the chicks survived and the herons have returned this year to start it all over again. - Margy

    These were worth the mucky hike. Very nice photograph. The camera did a nice job shooting up into the sky like that. I use Canon EOS Digital Rebels. Ihave three of them. Sold one. I have two of them for sale on my blogs. The Canon XTi and the Canon SXi. Like them both but just got the new Canon T3i so I hope the sell one or two of the older models.
