Today, there was a surprise, another Green Heron juvenile, perhaps the eldest bird.  Unknown which clutch it belongs in, so perhaps more will turn up for us.

Great Blue Heron also showed up and caught a fish.  The juvenile heron from clutch 2 tree 3 observed it, and was frightened away, as can be seen in its lift off photo above.  A canoeist also came to the area, but didn't come in far enough too disturb any of the birds.

Also, to whomever got the bare branch down with the attached lure and hook, thank you.   Your
kindness could have saved a bird from serious injury.  Your action is appreciated.
