All young for clutch one have fledged and these photos were taken from a blind where I clipped branches from young trees and bushes.  This area is just south of the nest tree right in front of original tree where most young have nested and been raised over the past four years.

Mother Green Heron is not on nest two, no sign of young, possibly due to their very small size versus cup size.

There was a very early rain this date, then a late afternoon rain, so writer was out during the interim period.

These are the last two birds that have fledged, photos from eye-level blind area.  Four out of the five immature birds were observed, as well as one adult.

There was another early morning rain and some medium density fog after the rain.

Mother Green Heron still off nest two, yet it is possible that they are still low in the nest.
