Up, Up and Away with the Green Heron Chicks


                                                                    Bell's Vireo

It's nice that the Bell's Vireo has moved to Heron Cove.  In prior years, this species was on the outskirts.  There is a possibility that this could be another unrelated adult, or offspring.

The Green Heron young are still in the nest, but something is going to happen soon, as I can just sense it.

The eldest Green Heron nestling led its siblings to the top of the main vertical branch just above the nest.  It took many shots to give the story, while the adult showed them all how to move about the nest tree.
