While visiting the Bailey Tract this week, I noticed several Green Herons - and it was by chance that I found this pair.
If there had been no movements, I would have missed them all together. |
It was fun to watch them - the male would fly off to a nearby tree and choose a twig which he broke off and brought back to the nest. |
He lowered the twig to his lady, she would grab it with her bill and carefully arrange it in her nest. |
This was a full time job .... off he goes to get some more. |
The tree next door on the other hand had a family almost all grown up... |
Two immature Green Herons were practicing their hopping between branches while patiently waiting for the parent to come with a meal. |
Now, that is one good looking fellow. |
Very cool, France :-) Looks like a great s'pose for their nest, all shrouded in. Love the chicks, too! Such nice pics, as usual....B.
