Filled with even more joy today, we have found another Green Heron from clutch 1. This bird, who is between a fledgling and a juvenile, is also fully flighted, observed heading to a tree approximately fifty feet up.
There was a little flight action today, and as usual, we hope for much more on the horizon. Here's hoping that we'll have another clutch within the next couple of weeks. Keep your fingers crossed.

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.

A Green Heron a Day Keeps the Doldrums Away
Juvenile Green Heron with Fishing Lure
Green Heron Juvenile, Clutch 1 Tree 1.5
Green Heron Juvenile, Clutch 2 Tree 3
end of June 2018
The two young Green Herons that we've been visiting with for the past week are getting older
by leaps and bounds. I observed the clutch 1 bird after its being away for a few days. The clutch
2 bird has a few downy tufts on its head and will soon be leaving the confines of the nesting area.
We are expecting another clutch, so stay tuned, and remember, dispose of plastic and fishing lures
properly! Don't leave them in trees where animals can injure themselves on hooks and get tangled
in the lines.
