Ever seen a Blue Heron Nest?
« on: March 29, 2009, 09:14:43 PM »
 How about 50+ Blue Heron nests? It was quite the sight, even more so when they spooked and all took off at the same time. Saw this on a little walk near my house tonight.

Wow.  I never would have guessed the nest in trees.  I would have bet money they nested on the ground.

Nice Rookery.  Its almost prehistoric.  Theres a big one by Moses as well, but they have closed it off to access I believe this time of year.

here's a cool view of one from a helicopter along the pend oreille river.  They look like a Dr. Seuss cartoon- a giant bird standing on ten little twigs.

This one closes in 2 days, from what I heard they weren't there a week ago.

Yep, that's about 1 minute from my parents house.  Pretty crazy seeing those big clumsy birds up in the trees.

There's a pair of bald eagles that nested pretty close to there last year as well.

There is a rookerie in Ballard south of the railroad bridge that is quite a site also.

There is another along Pioneer ave. in Puyallup right across from the trout hatchery. Funny there is a Bald Eagle nest right there also and Eagles feed on Heron chicks.
