Back visiting the heron's nest here at Clove Lake. It's early April and from past experience I'd say the pair have mated and the female has already laid her eggs.

  • Every 20 to 30 minutes or so she'd get up and move things in the nest around and occasionally stretch. If you had to sit on your eggs 24 hours a day, you'd need to get up and stretch every once in awhile too.
