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.

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 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.
