Locally, there are maybe a half-dozen Great Blue Heron nests, but none was easy to find and all were inaccessibly distant. One of the nests had two fully grown chicks which spent their time exercising their wings and preening. They will soon fly.
Two Great Blue Heron chicks stand in their nest.

Great work…do not `nest on your laurels..

Wonderful. They look so prehistoric. Are you familiar with the (somewhat problematic) heron rookery near the Sylvia Hotel in Vancouver? I heard there’s over 75 nests there.
Shirleen, alas, I am not.
