This was the Final Visit at the Rookery and along Tuna Rd. across from the Gulf of Mexico.
The only birds with young on Heron Island was the Great Egret. The Neotropic Cormorants
and some of the Snowy Egrets were on eggs. None of the Roseate Spoonbills had eggs, and
there was a first year pair of Tri-colored Herons trying to build a nest. Due to inexperience,
they were unable to do so, and had been trying to create a nest for a number of days. Most
likely that they will not raise young this year. The Cattle Egrets didn't appear to be nesting, either, but I was unable to view the other side of the island.
